Kyle MacLachlan paid tribute to frequent collaborator David Lynch on Thursday, saying that he owes his “entire career” to the late director.
“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,” wrote the actor on Instagram referring to landing the lead in Lynch’s 1984 space epic “Dune.”
“He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision,” said the actor, who praised the “Blue Velvet” and “Twin Peaks” creators “the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.”
