When I was about 5 years old I saw a movie that was based on a true story about a blind man. The man was played by the first Paul Atreides actor, Kyle MacLachlan. So then when I saw him in an alien sci-fi some time later I was freaked out. I asked my mom how he could do everything in the movie if he’s blind. See, I thought that if a movie was based on a true story that the real person from the story was the actor portraying them in the movie. But I was 5 years old when I learned about movie magic. It’s kind of crazy that your ex-girlfriend hadn’t learned that well into adulthood.
Yeah isn’t he The Captain? (how I met your mother, how I always call him out with my girlfriend). Yes I know he did plenty but for some reason that one sticks, even if I half watched Dune with my dad in the 80s and 90s.
Well, he is! I actually always think about him as the alien FBI agent from The Hidden, since that’s when I learned he is an actor and not a blind guy with a movie made about him. I didn’t even realize that he has been in more recent stuff like Portlandia and How I Met Your Mother. I guess he was in the Twin Peaks remake too? He’s a pretty cool actor.

Sorry I’m still trying to get over describing Kyle Maclachlan as “the first Paul Atreides actor” lol
