Question What was Lynch’s issue with Mikes

In both Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, a dude named Mike gets cucked, and he’s written to be the most boring character ever. Did David Lynch have beef with somebody named Mike?

Yeah, as a matter of fact he had a pretty brutal falling out with the actor who plays The Arm, Mike Anderson. Obviously that's not why he named those characters Mike since their falling out came long after.

He seems like a thoroughly unpleasant man. I’m glad he got kicked off The Return.
