The Louis Theroux Podcast · S7 EP2: Kyle MacLachlan on his relationship with David Lynch, Showgirls, and viral stardom · 10 Mar 2026 podcast

That's the inside scoop.

you know, from Hollywood, as we talk about, and some of the things that were available to me at the time and the things that were coming to me, and I felt like I needed to sort of push against that.

Showgirls was an effort to push against that.

And at a certain point in time in your life, in one's life, in my life, you realize, stop.

The career is going to be what the career is going to be, and, you know, follow your passion, follow what you believe in, follow what you want to do.

And there were opportunities that came, and I just embraced it.

You mean that you weren't, you basically... Oh, I think it had more to do with the rejection side.

Everyone deals with rejection in a different way.

And if you don't care, going in is a self-preservation protection mechanism, I think.

And so that was some of it for sure.

kind of tanking the the audition well just yeah or just sort of relying on you know inspiration going in and what's going to happen and which is like flying without a net you know um which is thrilling too but ultimately probably not sustainable but then you came out the other side of that i did i did

was not well received, came back to me for Blue Velvet a second time.

And granted, we had talked about Blue Velvet while we were filming Dune, but he didn't have to come back to me, you know, especially as I had been identified with a film that didn't work.

And so I was no longer that value.

A lot of it had seeped away, you know.

So I was like, okay, well...

And there was no other opportunity to possibly change that reality.

But David stayed.

David stayed with me and brought me back to Blue Velvet.

And that was my second film.
