With Prime Video's Fallout series now streaming, Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks) is stepping into yet another notable piece of pop-cultural history. Based on the massively popular Bethesda video games, Fallout will take viewers out of the Vault-Tec shelter and into the Wasteland, from executive producer and director Jonathan Nolan (Westworld) and co-writers and showrunners Graham Wagner (Portlandia) and Geneva Robertston-Dworet (Captain Marvel). MacLachlan, who's a repeat collaborator of acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch (Blue Velvet), teases that the show and his character, Overseer Hank, give Lynchian vibes.

Known for the surreal and ominous, Lynch is an unexpected but welcome vibe to the Fallout universe. Likewise, MacLachlan hints that there's more than meets the eye to his own character, the father of Ella Purnell's (Yellowjackets) Lucy and Vault 33 leader. In addition to Hank and Lucy, the adaptation series also stars Aaron Moten (Disjointed), Walton Goggins (Justified), Moises Arias (Ender's Game), and Michael Emerson (Lost).

In this interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, MacLachlan shares what he loves about the show and playing Hank, how he got involved, and how much he knew about his arc ahead of time. The Twin Peaks alum also discusses what it was like being a part of a "network television grenade," why he's so excited for Pixar's Inside Out 2, and shares a story from the set of Dune (1984).
