Kyle MacLachlan has addressed David Lynch’s death.
The actor, 65, paid tribute to the legendary filmmaker on Thursday, just hours after Lynch’s family shared his passing at age 78. His cause of death was not disclosed.
MacLachlan and Lynch worked together for decades, with the star appearing in several of the director’s hits like “Blue Velvet” (1984) and the early ’90s series “Twin Peaks” that spawned the movie prequel, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” (1992) and Showtime’s “Twin Peaks: The Return” (2017).
Sharing several photos with Lynch throughout the years on Instagram, MacLachlan poured his heart out while remembering his friend in the caption and even gave David credit for his career.
“Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision,” the actor wrote.
Calling Lynch an “enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him,” MacLachlan shared that “he was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.”
