What The Cast Of Twin Peaks Is Doing Now – Looper

Laura’s father Leland Palmer was a major part of the show from the very beginning. The role was played by Ray Wise, who was also a big part of “Fire Walk With Me” and returned for a smaller role in the revival. Wise was already a respected character actor before landing his role on “Twin Peaks,” with his most recognizable role being one of the bad guys in “RoboCop.”

Ray Wise rarely finds himself in a starring role, but has given countless memorable supporting performances over the years. He has racked up an astonishing filmography of nearly 250 movies and TV shows, though Leland Palmer has remained his most closely linked character. The most notable films he has been a part of include “Good Night, and Good Luck,” “X-Men First Class,” “Powder,” “Jeepers Creepers 2,” and the animated “Batman: The Killing Joke” as the voice of Commissioner Gordon.

Other TV shows that have made use of his talents in significant recurring roles include “Mad Men,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Chuck,” “Fargo,” “Agent Carter,” “Psych” and its accompanying movie tie-ins, “Reaper” (in which he played the Devil), “24,” and the soap opera “The Young and the Restless.” His most recent role was as Marvin in more than 90 episodes of the sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat.”
