That depends on what you mean by underrated. He's not underrated by those who watch thestuff he's in. And aren't they the ones who matter? I'd rather have one serious fan who understands and appreciates the workthat I do, than an ocean full of screaming girls or whatever.

Agent Cooper will forever be my favorite character in all of Television history. The sincerity and genuine enlightened humanity of that character has been etched into my conscience as a permanent reminder to act ethically, professionally, and always with a sense of compassion. A brilliant character portrayal by MacLachlan, legendary in my estimation. Cooper is iconic in large part because of the Kyle's charm and deftness as an actor.

Dale Cooper is perhaps the greatest character in all of fiction due in no small part to Kyle's masterful acting.
A very underrated actor. It's so refreshing that he can recall what he learned with each experience. He sounds appreciative of all his roles including those that he felt didn't turn out great. So classy. I'd hire him.
Nothing will beat dale cooper saying “I am the fbi” in season 3 of twin peaks. This guy is extremely subtle with his acting and able to just radiate positive energy

It's a show that will remain in my heart forever and you can bet there are hundreds of people who feel the same. David Lynch and Kyle are really something. Time to watch Blue Velvet.
He should get an award just for being ridiculously likable and such a charming dude. That's enough, and then there's his acting! :)
Cooper will for ever be one of my favorite characters of all time. Period. He's so charming and innocent.
One of the best actors ever, and he doesn't get enough recognition. I'll watch anything with Kyle in it. He always gives a great performance.

MacLachlan walks into coffee shop, barista sweats profusely.
My goodness he is such a charming and self-effacing man. I can see why Lynch loves him - he's just the All-American boy.
The first thing I remember Kyle MacLachlan in was "The Flintstones" as Cliff Vandercave!!
I got into Twin Peaks in 2020 and my god, Kyle MacLachlan is such an amazing actor! He’s one of my favorite actors and it’s such a treat to see him pop up in a movie or tv show.

Agent Dale Cooper is arguably(or not) the single greatest character in the history of television.
I love so much the story he tells at 9:55. That exact scene of Cooper smiling at angry Bobby made me think "wow, this character is great!".
Wow he was so surprisingly terrifying as Mr. C. When you can go 180, that's the sign of a great actor. Love this guy!
I know Kyle's two brothers very well. They are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Haven't had a chance to meet Kyle but he seems very much like them. What a great interview
I've only really seen him in Twin Peaks, so he's probably always going to be Special Agent Dale Cooper to me. The guy is so charming, I just have to go through his filmography now.

As a kid I loved the movie Dune then i get to college in the mid-90s and find another version of it. The box office release was 136 minutes long the other version is 178 mins long and is great. If you can find it watch it.
it's incredible how he manages to always be the coolest guy in the room in Twin Peaks and it doesn't even look like he's trying or his character is written to be that. Such an amazing actor. in Blue Velvet he's possibly the total opposite and he still puts on a great performance.
The Twin Peaks original series, The Return and the Twin Peaks movie "Fire Walk With Me" are in my top three all time favorites.. i just love them and I'm constantly rewatching the series, both original and the return, and I watch the movie at least once a month.
Saying he has had a diverse career is an understatement!!! Not a lot of actors will talk about the unsuccessful films they have been in. Have to admire someone who can do that.
Absolutely love how so many people discuss Dune existing in their mind for years
I know we got David Duchovny in Twin Peaks as Denise but how cool would it have been for a mini crossover episode of Dale Cooper helping Mulder and Scully out on a case
"OMG This is awful....You watch the first scene and, alright, it's not so good but it's got to get better. You watch the second, mmm, not getting any better. I watched the whole thing and...I don't know what to say about this movie. I don't think I can talk about this movie." hahahahaha
"David, I never left Twin Peaks"
He kind of had to play four roles in Twin Peaks 2017 - Cooper, Mr C, Dougie, and amnesiac Cooper as Dougie
Personally, I think Kyle would have been an ideal choice for Tony Stark. While Downey embraced the role, Kyle would most likely have exuded a more distinguished ane perhaps a more serious potrayal according to the source material.

This man is HARD to dislike!!! Man, this man is a grade-A class act! Such a professional, humble, candid. Probably a cool guy to hang out with. My first Muad'dib!
There was a long time when I felt he did not get his due for being as good as he is. Even when something he was in, like Blue Velvet, got rave reviews, the praise would be more for the film or the show itself than for his performance. Maybe because he has a very steady presence, and he was sometimes sharing the screen with more flamboyant performers (Hopper and Rossellini in Blue Velvet, for example). But I think now, in his fifties, people are waking up and seeing how consistently good he's been.
I guess this is my new favorite actor. I just love everything about him; his charisma, his boyish behavior, his good-looking. Of course his collaboration with Lynch is, by far, the best thing in my life!
I really like Kyle and think he’s very talented. I really enjoyed him in Twin Peaks his character Dale Cooper has a likable quality to him.
