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).

Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost is paying tribute to his friend and longtime collaborator David Lynch, whose death was announced today. He was 78.

He expanded the cinematic potential of television and influenced a generation of showrunners, including “Sopranos” creator David Chase.
