Lynch has been working steadily since 1993, which was right about the time of Eckhart's first screen credit, but he, unlike Eckhart, never become a star. (There may be an issue involving a lack of hair. On his head.) Here Lynch plays Walter, a contractor from Billings, who drove all the way to Seattle for Burke's hokey seminar and, a few hours...
