Best known for roles in movies like Annie Hall, The First Wives Club, Something’s Gotta Give and The Godfather, Keaton has a unique connection to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s groundbreaking television show Twin Peaks directing the second season episode #2.015 (or #22)….
During my visit to Washington state in August 2025, I stopped by the gravesite of John J. Boylan, the actor who played Mayor Dwayne Milford in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. Boylan passed a little over three years after the second season finale aired on the ABC Television Network. From the moment he appeared…
My fellow Twin Peaks Blog author and close friend Vinnie Guidera was first to share the news with me – David Lynch had passed. I knew this day was inevitable as our time on Earth is limited. Nevertheless, the news of his death has left me with more questions than answers, something that would have…
On August 28, 1992, my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, celebrates its 30th Anniversary. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen this film since my first viewing in October 1993, I’d be dead. It reminds me of a warm Sunday afternoon in late summer, with its mesmerizing…

One aspect of Twin Peaks that I’ve greatly enjoyed over the years of being a fan is how well mystery is mixed with some comedic relief. A true joy was seeing David Lander, famously known for playing Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley, return to the ABC Television network in Season 2 of David Lynch and…

He played Charlie in Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime and passed on Sunday, October 4 at age 63 after contracting West Nile Virus. Appearing in four episodes, Clark’s character Charlie left a…
