Kyle Is Alive! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Kyle MacLachlan

Kyle MacLachlan's movie acting career started - and almost ended - with the role of Paul Atreides in 1984's "Dune". In spite of a critically acclaimed acting performance by the entire cast, the film flopped mostly due to a weak script. In the following years, it became hard for him to land any roles until David Lynch gave him another major part in "Blue Velvet" two years later.

It was also with Lynch that he achieved his largest success, starring as Agent Dale Cooper in the television series "Twin Peaks" and its spin-off movies for which he won a Golden Globe and received two Emmy nominations, followed by a Dorian Award and a Saturn Award as well as another Golden Globe nominationfor the 2017 revival of the series.

Answer: Kyle Gass

Tenacious D, consisting of Kyle Gass and Jack Black, is a comedy rock duo whose exploits have been featured in a three episode television miniseries also named "Tenacious D". Produced in 1997, only the first episode actually aired in that year and the other two were finally broadcast three years later after some disputes between the duo and the network.

Tenacious D later produced two feature films about themselves and are actively touring and recording. Both musicians also started several acts independently of each other, with Kyle Gass frontlining the hard rock / heavy metal act Trainwreck as well as the Kyle Gass Band which focuses more on mainstream rock.

"Friday Night Lights", a drama series about a high school football team with Kyle Chandler starring as their coach, won critical acclaim in 2006 and 2007 but failed to generate high ratings, so it was supposed to be cancelled after two seasons.

His performance brought Kyle Chandler a Primetime Emmy (2011) as well as a second nomination from the year prior.

After "Friday Night Lights", Chandler shifted his attention to movies where he mostly played supporting roles, before returning to television with the Netflix series "Bloodline", for which he was again nominated for a Primetime Emmy but failed to win the award.
