Where Are They Now? The Cast of Twin Peaks
It was announced on Monday that
Twin Peaks
will return for a nine-episode run on Showtime. Considering David Lynch is known for working with the same people over and over again, it’s worth asking: Which original cast members might return? Let’s take a look at where they are now.
1. Kyle MacLachlan - Special Agent Dale Cooper
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141438","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"413","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

MacLachlan has been working steadily since
Twin Peaks
ended in 1991. In addition to a handful of movies, he had recurring roles on
Sex and the City
,
Desperate Housewives
,
How I Met Your Mother
, and
Portlandia
. Lynch’s frequent collaborator is rumored to return for the new series as well: The two were
eating lunch together in September, and MacLachlan
Monday, “Better fire up that percolator and find my black suit :-) #Twinpeaks.”
2. Sheryl Lee - Laura Palmer and Maddy Ferguson
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141439","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"468","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Lee is still in show business and has three films coming out this year (
Jackie & Ryan, White Bird in a Blizzard
, and
The Makings of You
). It wouldn’t be a surprise if Lee is asked to return to
Twin Peaks
; Lynch liked her enough to
the character of Laura’s cousin so she could have an actual speaking role on the show. Plus, he wrote the 1992 film
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
with Laura Palmer as the main character.
3. Lara Flynn Boyle - Donna Hayward
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141440","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"434","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Lara Flynn Boyle landed some good post-
Peaks
roles and spent a few years on ABC’s
The Practice
. Her more recent credits are slightly less impressive, like the 2013 comedy-horror film
Hansel & Gretel Get Baked
and the 2014 family flick
Lucky Dog
. As for whether she’ll reprise her role in the upcoming series, it’s unlikely considering she declined to appear in
Fire Walk with Me
. She has since claimed it was because she "was extremely disappointed in the way the second season got off track."
4. Sherilyn Fenn - Audrey Horne
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141441","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"461","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Fenn wouldn’t have to travel far if Lynch wanted her back on the show—she’s currently doing an arc on the Showtime series
Ray Donovan.
She can also be seen on the horror web series
Project: Phoenix
. Like Boyle, Fenn didn’t star in
Fire Walk with Me
, but it was due to a scheduling conflict, not an objection. She seems to be interested in the fate of her
Twin Peaks
character; in a recent interview, she
“Audrey would’ve taken over her father’s business and would’ve been married to Agent Cooper with many children.”
5. Michael Ontkean - Sheriff Harry S. Truman
Ontkean hasn’t done any film or television since his small part as George Clooney’s cousin in 2011’s
The Descendants
. You shouldn’t count him out for a role reprisal, though. In a 2011 interview, he
, “I was born to play Harry S. Truman.”
6. Mädchen Amick - Shelly Johnson
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141443","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"432","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Since
Twin Peaks
, Amick has had roles on
E.R
.,
Californication
, and
Damages
. She currently stars alongside Jenna Dewan Tatum on Lifetime’s
Witches of East End
. A
Twin Peaks
cameo isn’t out of the question, though. She has
that she was spoiled by the freedom the show allowed.
7. James Marshall - James Hurley
Marshall hasn’t had a film out since the horror flick
The Cursed
, which was released on the SyFy Channel in 2010. He’s currently filming
Welcome to Kain
, slated for 2015. Marshall attended the release party for
Twin Peaks
on Blu-Ray this year, and later
, “I really want to stay in contact with [those] people more."
8. Dana Ashbrook - Bobby Briggs
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141445","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"473","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Ashbrook has recently had roles on
White Collar
,
Hostages
, and
Psych
. He also will be in three films released within the next year:
Opposite Sex
,
Kensho at the Bedfellow
, and
Masque
. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him pop up in the revival—one of the episodes of
Psych
he starred in was a
Twin Peaks
homage episode with other former cast members including Sheryl Lee and Sherilyn Fenn.
9. Joan Chen - Jocelyn Packard
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141446","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"535","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Since
Twin Peaks
, Chen has spent some time behind the camera. She wrote and directed the 1998 film
Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl
and the 2012 short
Shanghai Strangers
. Chen balances her acting career between American films and Chinese films. She has a part in the upcoming Mandarin film
Yang Guifei
, and will also star in an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s
The Seagull
alongside David Duchovny and Helen Hunt, which will be released in 2015.
10. Everett McGill - Big Ed Hurley
McGill hasn’t acted since a 1999 episode of
Jag
, so it may seem unlikely that he'll pop up in the Showtime series. But there’s still hope: On August 13, Lynch
, “Dear Twitter Friends, do any of you know where Everett McGill is? I’d really like to talk to him. Thank you.”
11. Ray Wise - Leland Palmer
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141447","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"438","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Wise has managed multiple film and guest-starring television roles since
Twin Peaks
ended. Recently, he played Ed Baxter in
Mad Men
and Robin Scherbatsky’s dad in
How I Met Your Mother
. (Spoilers ahead!) Fans of the show probably won’t expect Wise to return, but don’t jump to conclusions. In 2013, Lynch
Wise, “Well, Ray, you know, the town is still there. And I suppose it's possible that we could revisit it. Of course, you're already dead...but we could maybe work around that."
12. Catherine E. Coulson - The Log Lady
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_full_width","fid":"141448","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"480","title":"","width":"620"}}]]

Coulson has only had a handful of roles since the show ended, but she still works in the business. She had a part in the 2013 drama
Redwood Highway
. And there’s no doubt that she’d be willing to pick up her log again: In May, she
an introduction in character for a music video by the rock band Pretty Little Demons.
