Hint: the actor was Jack Fisk, friend of Lynch from Alexandria days and husband of Sissie Spacek, who,,as fate would,have it was one of the mentors of Lynch on Eraserhead, financially speaking. Was he an alien? When Eraserhead was walking across the rain soaked field in the beginning of the movie, afer the weird opening sequence during which the guy pulling the levers pulls out one of the large spermatozoa thingies apparently from inside what may be a look alike of Eraserhead, maybe an alien, and throws it in a mud puddle, he puts a foot into a mud puddle. Did the little spermatozoa crawl up his leg at that point?

Yeah, One scene or one act at a time you can analyse and get stuff out of it - fear of having children, fear of having healthy children, fear of settling down, fear of the repercussions from having an affair, inlaws dramas, nervousness and discomfort etc etc.
But, try to link all these things together, it makes no sense. That's why I'm wondering if it is just a series of weird ideas (dreams) that he links up with devices like the spermatozas and the man in the machine.

  That's the rap Eraserhead has has for sure. But I now am coming to the realization every single thing in the movie is there fir a reason. It's not a bunch of things strung together as it appears. Thanks to some clever fellows on the Internet who gave published analyses of Eraserhead I'm able to give deeper and more accurate meanings to what is happening and why. It's the perfect movie to analyze, really. I have a ways to go. Mullholland Drive appears to be more straightforward but is actually denser makes less sense.
