Ever wondered how some of your favorite Twin Peaks actors look today? Here’s your chance!
Twin Peaks went on the air in the spring of 1990, and soon became one of the most successful shows in modern American television. The series was the center of kitchen conversations in every workplace, where everybody debated about the mystery “who killed Laura Palmer”. Now, after two seasons and one prequel film, David Lynch’s favorite cult series is back on our screens on the Showtime network, and it’s surely as strange and beautiful than ever. The show’s creators managed to weave a plot centered around a murder investigation of a young girl but also built an entire world around it for the viewers to slowly unravel. As other characters and storylines slowly came to light, we got to know Twin Peaks’ heroes and the villains, as well as the secrets beneath the surface of this all-American town. Among its qualities, the series masterfully combined the soap opera genre with humor, supernatural and horror elements, earning many new fans and accolades from TV critics.
From the first seconds of the intro you feel at home, tripping on a cloud over a waterfall. Combined with the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Northwest, the show’s music and visuals capture the viewer at the perfect moment and welcomes him into its universe. Long time composer and collaborator Angelo Badalamenti created a timeless fusion of dreamy yet eerie atmospheric music, film noir themes and 50’s American music, all blended perfectly in the background of Twin Peaks’ endless green pine trees. Following other mythical 90’s TV shows that made a come back to the little screen, such as The X-Files, Twin Peaks new season promises to take us back down memory lane with its large cast of original cast members and newly added cameo roles. Here’s a chance to look back at some of our favorite actors from the show.
