List of Twin Peaks characters
"[1] However, when Lynch wrote the "fire walk with me" speech, he imagined Mike saying it in the basement of the Twin Peaks hospital – a scene that would appear in an alternative version of the pilot episode, and surface later in Agent Cooper's dream sequence.Cooper displays an array of quirky, whimsical mannerisms, such as giving a "thumbs up" when satisfied, sage-like sayings (often inspired by his fascination with Tibet), and a distinctive sense of humor, along with his love for cherry pie and "a damn fine cup of coffee."Albert later takes part in the investigation of an apparent double homicide, also in South Dakota, after a headless corpse bearing Garland Briggs's fingerprints is found with the severed head of high-school librarian Ruth Davenport.Chester Desmond, played by Chris Isaak, is a taciturn Special Agent with the FBI who is called out by his boss, Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, to investigate the murder of a 17-year-old girl named Teresa Banks, who was found wrapped in plastic.He hurries to the office of his former superior, Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole and starts raving in a loud and disturbed manner, referring at one stage to Special Agent Cooper and yelling "Who do you think this is, there?"Gordon Cole, played by David Lynch (and named for a minor character in Sunset Boulevard[2]), is a Regional Bureau Chief in the FBI and Agent Cooper's immediate superior.Bryson comes to Twin Peaks when the Mounties and the FBI accuse Dale Cooper of misfeasance for his handling of the rescue of Audrey Horne from One Eyed Jacks and the alleged theft of cocaine from an RCMP stakeout.Tamara Preston, also known by her nickname Tammy, is an FBI agent introduced in the novel The Secret History of Twin Peaks, in which Gordon Cole assigns her to investigate a dossier recovered from Major Garland Briggs.Afterward, Preston takes part in investigating an apparent double homicide in South Dakota where the severed head of librarian Ruth Davenport is found with a headless body bearing Garland Briggs's fingerprints, and interrogates murder suspect William Hastings.In addition to the South Dakota cases, Preston leads the FBI's investigation into the deaths of Sam Colby and Tracey Barberato in New York City and finds that Cooper's doppelgänger was spotted at the penthouse where the couple was found dead.Her movements and clothing are code; this is an FBI method devised by Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole to quickly and covertly brief Special Agent Chester Desmond on what to expect during his investigation into the death of Teresa Banks.He is a Native American, but it is not made clear to which nation he belongs, although during a discussion as to whether or not Tommy believes in the soul he references Blackfoot Indian mysticism to Special Agent Dale Cooper.Laura Palmer, played by Sheryl Lee, was the town's favorite daughter; she volunteered at Meals on Wheels, was the high school Homecoming queen, and was (apparently) the darling of her parents, Sarah and Leland.The girl in "Part 8" of Twin Peaks: The Return, played by Tikaeni Faircrest, is not identified in the episode itself, but The Final Dossier reveals that she is Sarah, who was living in New Mexico in 1956 when an unidentified creature crawled into her mouth after she was rendered unconscious by a Woodsman's radio broadcast.Madeleine "Maddy" Ferguson, played by Sheryl Lee, first appears early on in the first season, when she travels to Twin Peaks from her hometown of Missoula, Montana (David Lynch's birthplace).The brothers' contrast is reflected in their attire: Ben wears tailored, neutral-colored business suits, and Jerry a variety of bizarre, multicolored outfits, seemingly culled from his trips around the world, with a strange hairdo resembling a hi-top fade.In a deleted scene from the second season (included in the "Twin Peaks The Entire Mystery" Blu-ray box set), Sylvia confesses to Dr. Jacoby that as a girl, Audrey pushed her brother Johnny down a flight of stairs, resulting in his brain damage.He was supposedly killed in a boating accident brought about by Hank Jennings, working on behalf of Andrew's wife, Josie, and his former business partner, Thomas Eckhardt, a sinister businessman operating in the Far East.Major Garland Briggs, played by Don S. Davis, is a United States Air Force officer whose area of expertise appears to be paranormal activity, particularly Project Blue Book.His marriage to Nadine, who is constantly seesawing between overbearing and highly depressed, ceased to be loving long ago, and seems driven primarily by his guilt over the hunting accident on their honeymoon in which she lost an eye.Norma Jennings, played by Peggy Lipton, is the owner of the Double R Diner, where she employs Shelly Johnson, a good friend of hers, and organizes the town's Meals on Wheels program, which Laura Palmer used to operate.The Final Dossier by Mark Frost reveals Annie's ultimate fate, namely that following the events of her abduction and rescue, she has been stuck in catatonic state for 25 years and placed in an institution as a result.Since entering this state, Annie has never spoken a word, with one notable and repeated exception; once every year, at the anniversary of exact time of her kidnapping, she says "I'm fine," out loud, apparently to no one in particular, before falling silent again.Sadistic and volatile, he regularly beats her for both real and imagined transgressions, ranging from her infidelity with high school football player Bobby Briggs to his dissatisfaction with the way she washes the kitchen floor.Her picture, along with that of Leo Johnson's truck, are found in Fleshworld (a swingers magazine) by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, and Sheriff Harry S. Truman, along with a forwarding address which allows them to track down to whom it belonged.[9] In "The Firefly", a 2011 episode of the science fiction series Fringe, Walter Bishop uses a pair of red-and-blue glasses to examine a man's aura and says, "These were created by an old friend of mine, Dr. Jacoby from Washington State."Margaret Lanterman, better known as the Log Lady, makes semi-regular appearances in both seasons, and is played by Catherine E. Coulson, who also very briefly reprised the role for a single scene in the prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.Selena Swift (Erika Anderson) is an actress known for her dual roles as Jade and Emerald on the soap opera Invitation to Love that is a popular show in Twin Peaks and is watched by nearly all of the residents.Stanley also discovered a small piece of white paper imprinted with the letter "T" beneath the nail of her left ring finger, what would become the calling card of the serial killer who later murders Laura Palmer and attacks Ronette Pulaski.Like Laura and Ronette, Teresa placed personal ads in Fleshworld, a fictional swingers magazine known to be read and utilized by Twin Peaks drug dealer Jacques Renault, who also runs a sort of low-key prostitution ring on the side.
