Chris Isaak
Christopher Joseph “Chris” Isaak (born June 26, 1956) ) is an American rock musician and occasional actor.
Isaak was born in Stockton, California, the son of Dorothy (née Vignolo), a potato chip factory worker, and Joe Isaak, a forklift driver. Isaak’s mother is Italian American, originating from Genoa. Chris has two older brothers, Nick and Jeff.
Isaak signed a contract to Warner Bros. Records in 1984 for his first album Silvertone.The tracks “Gone Ridin’” and “Livin’ for Your Lover”, from this album, were featured in David Lynch’s cult classic Blue Velvet. Isaak’s second self-titled album Chris Isaak was photographed by fashion photographer Bruce Weber. Isaak’s contract was renewed in 1988 when Warner Bros. moved him to their Reprise Records label.
His best-known song is “Wicked Game”. Though released on the 1989 album Heart Shaped 
World, an instrumental version of the song was later featured in the 1990 David Lynch film Wild at Heart. Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who was obsessed with Lynch films, began playing the vocal version and it quickly became the station’s most-requested song. Chesnut spread the word to other radio stations around the country and the single became a national Top 10 hit in February 1991. The music video for the song was directed by Herb Ritts and was a big MTV and VH1 hit; shot in black and white, it starred Isaak and Danish supermodel Helena Christensen rolling on the beach, embracing and whispering in each other’s ears. Another less-seen version of the “Wicked Game” is directed by David Lynch and comprises scenes from the film Wild at Heart. In 1995 Isaak split with long time guitarist James Calvin Wilsey, and that year’s Forever Blue and the accompanying tour featured Hershel Yatovitz on guitar. In 1999, Isaak’s “Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing” was featured in Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut, starring Tom Cruise and 
Nicole Kidman. The song is on his 1995 album Forever Blue. The music video for the song is directed by Herb Ritts, it was shot in color, it starred Isaak and French supermodel Laetitia Casta in a motel room. This was Isaak’s second collaboration with Ritts.
Isaak has also appeared in numerous films, mostly playing minor cameo roles, though he starred with Keanu Reeves and Bridget Fonda in the 1993 Bernardo Bertolucci-directed Little Buddha, and also played a major role in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992). Other motion pictures include Married to the Mob (1988), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), That Thing You Do! (1996), and A Dirty Shame (2004).
