1. Kyle MacLachlan


Charismatic special agent Dale Cooper, enshrouded in mystery and exuding unadulterated sex appeal in his wake (or was that just us?), was portrayed by actor Kyle MacLachlan.

MacLachlan had previously teamed up with director David Lynch for cult classic Blue Velvet in 1986, and went on to reprise his role in the TV series movie prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me in 1992.

He went on to star in Dutch director Paul Verhoeven's guilty pleasure Showgirls (1995), and appeared in HBO's Sex and the City as Charlotte's first husband Trey MacDougal between 2000-2002.

The star also played Bree Van de Kamp's (played by Marcia Cross) husband Orson Hodge in Desperate Housewives from 2006 to 2012.

Last year, he was cast as Dr Roman Skouras in JJ Abrams' short-lived fantasy drama Believe.
