While in high school, he performed in plays and in class musicals, acting in his first play at age 15. In 1982, he graduated cum laude with a BFA in drama from the University of Washington, as a student of the Professional Actor Training Program.

Lynch commented on those roles in a GQ story about MacLachlan : `` Kyle plays innocents who are interested in the mysteries of life. He 's the person you trust enough to go into a strange world with. '' MacLachlan at the 1991 Emmy Awards. MacLachlan appeared as musician Ray Manzarek in Oliver Stone 's 1991 film The Doors, about the band of the same name. He had previously turned down Stone 's offer to play Chris in the 1986 movie Platoon, which ultimately went to Charlie Sheen. In the 1993 film version of Franz Kafka 's The Trial, with a screenplay by Harold Pinter, MacLachlan played the lead role of the persecuted Josef K. MacLachlan co-starred with Samuel L.

In 1995, MacLachlan starred in Paul Verhoeven 's Showgirls. The movie was heavily panned by critics and it collected a record seven Golden Raspberry Awards.

According to MacLachlan, although he skipped the movie 's press tour, he had sat through the whole screening, contrary to reports that he walked out. In the 1990s, MacLachlan was offered by NBC to be one of the lead actors on the then - new soap opera Passions as a powerful, wealthy villain and head of a multimillion - dollar company, but MacLachlan turned it down. 2000s From 2000 to 2002, MacLachlan had a recurring role in the American television series Sex and the City, portraying Dr. Trey MacDougal, the one - time husband of Charlotte York ( Kristin Davis ).

In 2004 he also had a guest role on Law & Order : Special Victims Unit, in which he played a psychiatrist who shot and killed a sociopathic child who had murdered his son. He was a guest star on the show again in 2011 as a politician whose son is involved in a rape accusation.

Winemaking A dedicated wine lover, Kyle is partners with vintner Eric Dunham in Pursued by Bear, a label of Dunham Cellars in Walla Walla, Washington that started in 2005. The name, suggested over dinner by Fred Savage, comes from a stage direction ( `` Exit, pursued by a bear '' ) in Shakespeare 's The Winter 's Tale. It is regarded as one of Washington 's highest rated wine labels. Personal life MacLachlan with actress Lara Flynn Boyle, at the 1990 Emmy Awards MacLachlan was devastated when his mother died of ovarian cancer in 1986 at age 53, shortly before Blue Velvet was released. She had been diagnosed while he was filming Dune in 1983 and delayed informing him of the diagnosis. She had fought the cancer for years. He was in a relationship with Blue Velvet co-star Laura Dern for three and a half years from 1985 to 1989. Then he was in a relationship with Twin Peaks co-star Lara Flynn Boyle for two and a half years. In 1992, after his relationship with Boyle ended, he began a relationship with supermodel Linda Evangelista after they met at a photo shoot they did together for Barneys New York. According to MacLachlan, they had been engaged for a few years when their six - year relationship ended in 1998. A year later, he met and began a relationship with publicist Desirée Gruber in 1999. Gruber runs her own public relations agency and would become an executive producer of Project Runway in 2004.
