This thing is on! And by "thing" I mean our collective admiration and enjoyment of your personality and craft.
thank you, good human!
Yes....hu..mannn...
bold assumption, but species is irrelevant to the admiration and enjoyment. Thank you.
I also don’t have a question so I’ll post my comment here, but just wanted to say one of my favorite t-shirts is an agent Cooper one. People always ask who’s on my shirt and I tell them “it’s a damn fine cup of coffee”.
Ahoy, Captain!
Boats boats boats!!!
No questions, but I want to say that I'm such a huge fan ❤️
I really appreciate everyone's thoughtful questions, comments, damn fine observations, and of course for listening to my new podcast Varnamtown. I've got some exciting stuff cooking up if you want to take a gander at my mystery link. Appreciate the love - i remain your faithful babygirl...and someday, I'll learn what that means. GOODNIGHT REDDIT.
Thank you babygirl
I had my time an hour off 😕 next time!

I feel like Reddit staff gives zero info to celebrities about what an AMA is supposed to be like. Or maybe this is what they’re supposed to be like now? 30 minutes of 1-2 sentence answers to shallow questions? This was actually better than most.
They used to have a person to help with AMAs (Victoria) but they got rid of the position and as a result the celebrity AMAs have languished.
Reddits been enshitified.
They should really have someone facilitate these AMA's with celebrity's a little better.
Why does this site have to ruin literally any good thing.
You're off.
He made the post at 12.36 pm ET, said he was gonna answer questions starting at 1, and the comment you replied to is from five past 2.
how connected do you feel to agent cooper as a character, having been with him for so long? do you see some part of yourself in him, or vice versa? have you developed some of his mannerisms? i apologize if it’s not a very unique question, i couldn’t think of much else to ask at such short notice
in all sincerity though, i can safely say that your collaborations with david lynch are some of my favorite pieces of media, and (especially in twin peaks) some of the best acting work i have seen. i just want you to know how thankful i am to you for being such an integral part of david’s work, which has had a great impact on me the last few years, and been a comfort through some unfortunate circumstances. it has really helped.
i hope this finds you well, and that you are having a wonderful day. :)
He's my fave...and I love coffee the same way
thank you!! :D
Have you tried David Lynch’s coffee brand?
I’ll be damned if he hasn’t.
Black as midnight on a mooooonless night.
Will you release more inspired pics (such as the ones you did inspired by Lorde?)
If you all give me the Green Light?
🟢🟢🟢🟢Please never stop doing those they're amazing
::hands over green light on desk::
🟢🟢🟢
💚💚💚 WE ARE BEGGING 🙏🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚💚
What year is this?
You tell me...
I think it's still 2020. But sometimes my arms bend back.
omg I love that..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
are there any famous roles you’ve passed up on? do you regret it?
Nate Jacobs in EUPHORIAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Personally, I think you would have made a great Cassie 💙
I have a second question: since Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, what is your favorite way to show someone you love them?!
Romantic dinner, long walk on the beach...and of course, listening to episode 4 of my true crime podcast, Varnamtown #sponcon 🥸
Not a flat baby?
what is the favorite movie you've ever appeared in and why was it Showgirls?
Yes...why?
I legitimately love this film and your work in it.
Interestingly he was on a recent podcast (Films to be Buried With) where he said Showgirls is his most hated film and found the whole experience incredibly uncomfortable. I think he is aware a lot of people love it though so maybe reluctant to admit that on Reddit, which is fair enough
why is it not Desperate Housewives? They must make a damn fine cup of coffee
Desperate housewives isn't a movie
It’s amazing for all the wrong reasons which makes it so right
Because Jessie Spano is amazing.
How do you like the new Dune movies? How do you compare the energy you brought to Paul, vs. the energy Chalamet is bringing?
PS: I'm a HUGE fan, thanks for all the amazing times!
I'm too late for the AMA, but wanted to say thanks to Kyle for your portrayal of Paul Atreides. It felt more true to the book than any of the others.
It's too bad that some of the other books weren't also adapted and starred KM. Paul changed a lot and would have given any actor something meaty to chew on (IMHO).
Damn someone already asked😞
i have a stick&poke tattoo of you, i hope you like it :)
Damn fine work. #ouch
Ok that's rad as all hell
Hii Kyle, I love you so much. What's your opinion on Lana Del Rey?
Who doesn't love Waffle House? 😋
y'all just moved up on my actor tierlist for that, and you were already pretty high up
I missed the AMA so thank you for asking this lmao
T-minus, 3 minutes...
Can you do another AMA at some point? I missed this one :(
Yeah this happened fast haha. I literally just finished episode 22 of Twin Peaks and opened Reddit to find this AMA
Hi Kyle! Who's your main in Mario Kart?
For some reason I want it to be Dry Bones
What is your favorite project that you have collaborated on with David Lynch? Also my sibling is your biggest fan
Got to be TWIN PEAKS, DUNE...BLUE VELVET was pretty good...FIREWALK WITH ME....the list goes on...right? ;)
Blue velvet is absolutely gold, you were stellar. Thanks for that!
I just finished reading Dune for the first time, but I've seen you in it a zillion times. Did you feel epic in that role?
What kind of coffee maker do you use?
Percolator 🐟
I actually love you so much
The steam keeps the eyeballs moist.
Fellas!! Don’t drink that coffee!!
There was a fish.. in the percolator!
can u make a letterboxd so we can be moots ?!?!
First of all, this is on my To Do list because I love movies. I have a few favorites I like to revisit such as MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, APOCALYPSE NOW, BLADE RUNNER, as a kid it was all about HERBIE THE LOVE BUG and any movie with Dean Jones.
Secondly, what's moots?
moots is internet lingo for mutuals, where u follow someone and they follow you back! when u make that letterboxd please share immediately so we can be moots haha
excellent favs list! i watched blade runner for the first time recently. harrison ford very pretty. moots means we follow each other back. if u wanna like all my reviews and find me hilarious it’s up to u tho xx
Moots is like being your best babygirl self, but with another person
Hi Kyle!! My boyfriend just recently got me to watch Twin Peaks and of course that has lead me down a deep rabbit hole lol. But I need to know if those donuts were as good as they looked. Because every scene that has donuts, led to me buying and consuming so many donuts. But I also wanted to know if you got to keep any costume pieces or props from the show? Or if not, were there any pieces you wanted to?
The donuts were amazing and I ate waaaaay too many. Maple bar is my favorite. As far as costumes and props, (and besides those few pieces of vertical grain Douglas Fir that I snuck into my suitcase) I didn't keep much but I wish I had kept the tape recorder so I could talk to Diane. And of course the black suit...believe it or not we only had two that we rotated between! Until Ep 9 of the second season when the sprinklers went off and the suit shrunk...or maybe it was all of those donuts. 🍩
Wow!! That’s so interesting. Definitely jealous of the donuts and having the recorder to talk to Diane whenever you need would have been so awesome. I never would have guessed about the suits either!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! 🍩
HAHAHAHA!!! My husband and I would watch every week with a cherry pie and a pot of damn fine pot of coffee. And when the show was 'cancelled', we mailed in a box of golf balls.
Oh man, the food Twin Peaks made me fly out to Seattle to find a diner with some pie and coffee.
why did you just settle for a diner in seattle the actual RR is in North Bend is just a hop-skip and jump away (as in just 30 mi).
(unless you went in the time period betwen the fire / twin peaks production company's restoration of it)
Yay! The Cherry Pie & Spiced Coffee must flow!
Was David Lynch's idea of the Weirding Modules in DUNE (1984) something he came up with on his own, or did Frank Herbert show him pending work for Heretics of/Chapterhouse Dune to help create the idea together?

You’re a real one
Convinced at this point that David has gotten too old / declining health and it’s not happening. He completely disappeared from his YouTube channel and hasn’t made a public appearance in forever. I hope he’s doing okay.
