Kyle MacLachlan, Naomi Watts, Isabella Rossellini and other collaborators of David Lynch mourned the filmmaker's death on social media.

When a director and an actor develop an ongoing creative partnership, a certain kind of magic happens, and this was certainly the case with actors Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern and director David Lynch.

The "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet" star wrote that the late filmmaker allowed him to "travel in worlds" he could "never have conceived" on his own.

David Lynch ‘s FBI agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks, Paul Atreides from Dune and Jeffrey Beaumont from Blue Velvet, Kyle MacLachlan, took to social media to express his sorrow over the loss of the filmmaker who made him a leading man across TV and film.

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.

He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.”

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).

I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.”

David Lynch, who died Thursday at age 78, was remembered by his many collaborators, as well as those he inspired, such as "Donnie Darko" director Richard Kelly.

Kyle MacLachlan penned a touching tribute to his “dear friend” and frequent collaborator David Lynch, the cerebral director who launched the Hollywood star’s career and continued working with him for years.
