Oscar-Nominated Actor Details Heartbreak Over Missing Out On Twin Peaks Revival
One movie star who was in consideration for a role in the David Lynch revival Twin Peaks: The Return reveals why he wasn't able to join the cast.
Twin Peaks
Conceived by Mark Frost and David Lynch in 1990, Twin Peaks is a supernatural mystery-drama series that brings FBI Agent Dale Cooper to the quiet town of Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of a young woman named Laura Palmer. As Dale continues his investigation of her death, he learns that Laura's life wasn't as she advertised it, and the town itself is hiding far more secrets than they let on. The show received a revival for a third and final season two decades later to resolve the cliffhanger left at the end of the second season.
