Nance´s unnerving performance as Spencer is largely why the film endures and why his fl-and-white image - eyes widened, expression dour but empty, hair seemingly trying to escape his scalp, framed by flness and floating dust - is lodged in the subconscious of every connoisseur of fantastic cinema.

 jack nance donut death
So, on the one hand, the fact that Jack Nance, a 53 year old character actor living in South Pasadena, would meet his untimely demise as a result of a donut-shop brawl is, in and of itself, completely unremarkable.
Nance was cast in the role partially out of convenience: he was married, at the time, to Lynch's AFI friend, Catherine Coulson, who was Eraserhead's assistant camera operator, and would later portray The Log Lady in Twin Peaks.
Jack Nance would go on to have small roles in Blue Velvet (1984) as Paul, and Dune (1986) as a Harkonnen guard, and then later appear briefly in Wild at Heart (1990) as 00-Spool.

For Nance it wasn't much of a stretch to play the movie's gloomy antihero, who was beset by panic (and hallucinations) when his girlfriend presented him with a slimy reptilian "baby." Offscreen the actor was a nonconformist--a bit of a loner with a sometimes abrasive attitude.
Nance, who grew up in Dallas, was never comfortable with the kind of convention represented by his parents--Hoyt Nance, 73, a former Neiman Marcus executive, and Agnes, 72, a homemaker.
Nance made his film debut in Lynch's 1978 nightmarish cult classic "Eraserhead," playing a hapless misfit with towering hair and a girlfriend who gives birth to a half-human.

 Jack Nance Interview - Starlog
Nance was uncertain about taking the part until Lynch showed him his short film, The Grandmother about a kid who plants a seed which grows into his grandmother.
After a 20-year association, Lynch is still using the personal approach and Nance cites as an example the scene where his character discovers the dead, nude body of Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic in the initial installment of Twin Peaks.
Jack Nance might be onto something there because much to his credit, Pete Martell seems to be the only one in Twin Peaks or anywhere else who doesn't care who killed Laura Palmer.

The story of Jack Nance is one of mystery, tragedy, humor and oddball circumstances.
In “I Don’t Know Jack,” the David Lynch produced documentary of actor Jack Nance, we learn through interviews and archived film footage about the funny yet tragic life of an eccentric actor whose off-kilter style made him a perfect choice for some of the biggest roles in the Lynch universe.
“I Don’t Know Jack” uses interviews and stories told by some of his closest friends and colleagues (including David Lynch), to help reveal the tenderness, volatility, humor, and eventually torment that plagued his life, which ended prematurely when he died in 1996 of brain hemorrhaging after a scuffle at a local store.

 Eraserhead (1977): Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates - PopMatters Film Review
For Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) and Mary X (Charlotte Stewart), there are only degrees of near survival.
There is probably no more glorious single shot in all of cinema than Henry's head, Eraser-hair erect and backlit as a thousand glitter-like light particles shimmer around him.
Indeed, throughout, it is images, not characters, that stand out: the Man in the Planet (Jack Fisk) represents the rotten core of existence from the inside out, and the worm in the burrow cabinet explores orifices in defiance of Henry's own psycho-sexual inadequacies.

The highlight is the Eraserhead reunion, where Jack Nance, Catherine Coulson (the "Log Lady" from Twin Peaks and Nance's first wife), and Lynch visit the site where Lynch's first successful feature was shot in the mid-1970s over a two-year period.
Most striking to me was the portrait of his artwork and his creation of it...I think this speaks most directly to his film work, since as his ex-wife put it, he wanted to make 'art that moves', and I'd purchase any of it (if I could afford it) in a second!
The discussion of his filmwork is rather shallow, but it's the interviews by people such as Peggy Lynch, Jack Fisk (longtime childhood friend), and his kids that light up this piece (Austin Lynch sounds *exactly* like David, with the midwestern twang and the long, slow deliberation with which he speaks).
