It was haunting and beautiful. We listened in silence, and then David said: âThis is our song. This is our show.â
Ashbrook: I remember the first time I saw the pilot. I watched it at my agentâs office. It was so different and unique. I thought: âThis is either going to be a huge hit or a huge bomb.â
Robie: We were all so excited. We had no idea what it was going to be, but we knew it was going to be good. You could feel it.
Frost: When the show aired, we had an 18 share, which was terrible. We were supposed to be a smash hit, but we were up against Cheers and the ratings were terrible. I was totally depressed. But then I went into the office the next day and the phone was ringing off the hook. The network said: âWhat are you guys doing for next year?â
Amick: I remember watching the premiere in Los Angeles with my family. I was so nervous, because it was a David Lynch project. I didnât know if people were going to get it. But from the first moment, when the body is found on the beach, I knew it was going to be something special.
Ontkean: The first season was a huge hit. People were watching it all over the world. We all felt like rock stars.
Horse: It was an extraordinary time. We were like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. People would come and watch us shoot.
Frost: I donât believe weâll ever see anything like it again. It was a very special time, and I know how lucky we were to be a part of it.
Amick: Itâs amazing to see the impact the show still has today. People are still discovering it and falling in love with it. Itâs a testament to the incredible work of David Lynch and Mark Frost.
Amick: David was always so calm and collected, even when things got chaotic on set. He had this aura of creativity and passion that was infectious. You couldn’t help but be inspired by him.
Frost: David had a way of making everyone feel like they were part of something special. He had a vision and he knew how to bring it to life, but he also valued the input and creativity of everyone involved.
Horse: Working with David was like being in a dream. He had this way of making the surreal seem completely natural. It was a truly magical experience.
Overall, the production of Twin Peaks was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone involved. The combination of talented cast and crew, along with David Lynch’s unique vision, created a show that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
And Sherilyn was very much against that. She said to David and Mark: âI donât think this is right for my character.â And David said: âOK, we wonât do it.â He was very respectful of his actorsâ opinions and feelings.
Ontkean: I think David was always very graceful in how he handled the actors and the creative process. He was very generous and supportive. He was a brilliant guy and a great leader.
Amick: In the end, I think the second season kind of lost its way a little bit. But thatâs part of the magic of Twin Peaks. It was always pushing boundaries and trying new things.
Frost: We were trying to maintain the quality and the vision of the show, but it was a difficult time. Networks were getting impatient, the audience was getting impatient. And we were trying to keep up with the demands of the production.

Estoy seguro de que contribuyó.
Amick: Me resulta difícil encontrar palabras para expresar la pérdida de un genio magistral, pero, más importante aún, de una persona simplemente maravillosa. Siempre digo que mi tiempo con él fue una bendición y una maldición. Me sumergí en la magia de David Lynch y eso ha marcado toda mi carrera. Pero luego la maldición fue que tuve que salir a trabajar con directores de cine ordinarios. Él me malcrió.
Frost: Tuve algunas conversaciones realmente agradables con él en los últimos años, mientras enfrentaba su nueva realidad y las limitaciones que le imponían, pero nunca limitaron su mente. Y mientras la tuviera, se sentía libre. Nunca se compadeció de sí mismo. La autocompasión no estaba en su léxico. Fue una pérdida terrible para todos. Además, fue un querido amigo de 40 años. Era un personaje tan indeleble y tan singular en muchos aspectos. Es una subestimación ridícula decir que nunca volveré a conocer a alguien como él.
Un Encuentro de los Ángeles, un festival que celebra la obra de David Lynch, se llevará a cabo en el Reino Unido más adelante este año
