Kyle MacLachlan Is TV's Latest Cheerful Tyrant

Who’s Suddenly Everywhere? Kyle MacLachlan.

You Might Know Him From: You better know him from Twin Peaks, where he played FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper. If you only know him from Sex & The City (where he played Charlotte's impotent husband Trey), or from Desperate Housewives (where he played Bree's scheming husband Orson), then I feel sorry for you and I judge you.

First Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As the ska bass-playing, yoga ball-sitting Mayor of Portland on Portlandia.

Next Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As senior partner Donovan Stark on CBS's extremely short-lived Made In Jersey.

Second-Most-Recent Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As sneaky DOJ prosecutor/Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) antagonist Josh, on Sunday's episode of The Good Wife.

Latest Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: Reprising his long-ago recurring role as The Captain on last night's How I Met Your Mother.

Where We Propose He Could Next Be Suddenly Everywhere: Given that CBS is apparently trying to burn off its financial obligations from Made In Jersey by casting him in guest roles on every other show on its schedule, maybe he could help out The Mentalist on The Mentalist as a special consultant to the CBI: Dale Cooper!
