The announcement of David Lynch passing was not surprising but certainly a bummer. As a director, writer, painter, artist and all around personality - I have severe fondness for him. I am sure there will be countless, eloquent, eulogies in his honor. I look forward to them.

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the man's acting. He didn't do a ton of it but when he did, it was always a treat. Here are a few moments I love.

• Sammy Meets John Ford - having Lynch in a Spielberg movie was likely on noone's bingo card but his tiny cameo here is unforgettable. I could watch this on repeat. Of course, there's a story behind it (Cheetos are involved).
• Jack Dall, not that kind of funny - Obviously Louis CK was involved in some truly grotesque and unforgivable behavior but casting Lynch to berate him was not one of them. "Be funny"
• Gordon Cole, a small mexican chihuahua - Twin Peaks introduction to Lynch's FBI character; a hoot.
• Every time Gordon Cole says What The Hell - warning, some gruesome imagery in this one but Cole's line delivery is perfect.
• David Lynch's Weather Report 12/16/22 - there are so many of these that are good.
• David Lynch being a madman for 8 minutes 30 seconds - okay, not acting here but his personality is on perfect display. The absolute best.

These are amusing moments but hearing Lynch speak on daydreaming or meditation or feeling art; all well worth digging up and soaking in.
