Kyle MacLachlan discusses his new Peacock series 'Joe vs. Carole,' working with Kate McKinnon, and how David Lynch shaped him as an actor.
Created by Kate McKinnon and Etan Frankel, the Peacock limited series Joe vs. Carole digs into the rivalry between zoo operator and big cat breeder Joe Exotic and big cat enthusiast Carole Baskin . The pair each knew exactly how to get under the other’s skin, and their clashing viewpoints about how to handle the exotic animals they both claimed to love led them down a road that landed Joe in prison for 22 years, for plotting Carole’s murder.
KYLE MacLACHLAN: I watched when everyone watched and I had the same experience that most people did. I thought, “Oh my gosh, these crazy people. How can they do what they’re doing?” I didn’t really give it much thought until I read the script for what is now Joe vs. Carole and was learning more about who these people were and where they came from. I said, “This is a very well-written script. These characters are very interesting. This is something that I’d like to be involved in.
MacLACHLAN: He’s not a flashy guy, by any means, although he did carry his phone on his belt loop, so he’s a little bit of a nerdy guy. He’s highly intelligent, very well-educated, and had a life that he’d established for himself. He’d never really met his soulmate, and then he and Carole bumped into each other by accident at this event and found that they had common ground and a mutual respect for each other. He’s a little older than she is, and it just seemed to make sense.
What was it like to see what Kate McKinnon brought to the role and to have her to work with, as a scene partner? She makes such an interesting transformation in this because it seems subtle, but there are also moments that are so uncanny. MacLACHLAN: We froze, doing that scene. All the scenes that we did on the beach were very cold and rainy. We were both huddled in these chairs, and we had blankets off-camera and hot water bottles, just to keep ourselves warm. It was a wonderful little segue into an understanding. It’s a moment of love and appreciation. We’ve been through a military campaign, basically, and come out the other side. That was a very gentle triumph.
