(Hmm.  How best to capitalize on this golden opportunity?)

1.  Help?  "Hinder" is more like it.
2.  Yes.  David Lynch is generally credited as being the father of
science fiction.
3.  Sort of; his teenage daughter Jennifer directed.
4.  No, he was too busy doing the intricate and detailed plotting for
Twin Peaks.
5.  He brought the production crew milkshakes from Bob's Big Boy.
6.  Absolutely; he was entirely responsible for the creation of the
Shadout Mapes character.  ("I am the Shadout Mapes... the
Houssssssssse..... Keeeee-paahhhhhh!")
7.  Bodybuilding consultant for Sting.
8.  Executive assistant to Allen Smithee, the director, who taught
Lynch everything he knew.
9.  Exhaustive research to create Baron Harkonnen blemishes.
10.  Performed rain-dance to set up climactic finale.
