Twin Peaks: The Return isn’t the only genre drama in which Kyle MacLachlan has starred, with a key plot point being the ability of mysterious beings to absorb or inhabit bodies. In 1987, three years before MacLachlan starred as FBI Agent Dale Cooper in the original Twin Peaks, he played an FBI agent investigating a mysterious case in The Hidden. The case is really mysterious because he’s on the trail of an alien parasite who can take over the bodies and consciousness of unsuspecting humans – and even more mysterious because MacLachlan’s FBI agent actually is an alien also. And the alien he’s chasing inhabits several bodies over the course of The Hidden – but none is more noteworthy than the one played by Claudia Christian, as a strip-club dancer who becomes suddenly, and extraterrestrially, homicidal.
