Scary as it sounds, Kyle MacLachlan seems firmly entrenched as the onscreen alter ego of director David Lynch. After being chosen by Lynch and Dino Di Laurentiis to play the desert planet messiah in the doomed Dune, he more than cleared his name with critics in Lynch's Blue Velvet, playing Jeffrey Beaumont, the boy scout detective who found out how it feels to have Isabella Rossellini pull down your boxer shorts at knifepoint and demand that you practice Tae Kwon Do on her face.
