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

MacLachlan said of his career-long friend and collaborator, "I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear."

David Lynch revolutionized cinema — and now, Hollywood is paying tribute to the legendary auteur, who died Thursday at the age of 78.
