The most unexpected and fascinating names to appear on the new season of ‘Twin Peaks’

By Nick Johnstonon

Yesterday, we brought you a list of musicians that we were excited to see on screen in the new season of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, which premieres on Showtime this Sunday (May 21) at 9 p.m..

We thought it only fitting to return back to the same 217-person cast list that we pulled that list from, and find the most unexpected and fascinating names on that list from all other walks of life -- actors, athletes, stuntmen -- and use that as a way to preview how different and unexpected this new season might be.

Unexpected, yes -- just like David Lynch doing the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Meg Foster

Long-time genre actress Foster’s made a pretty big return to the small screen in the past several years, with bit parts in Baskets and Pretty Little Liars, but we have reason to think that her pairing with Lynch will take her back to here more extreme roots. Possessing some of the palest blue eyes that you’ll ever see in this universe, Foster excels when she’s given the chance to be icy as fuck and interesting, and those are good requirements for Lynch fatales. In this clip from They Live, she smashes Roddy Piper over the head with a bottle, and that’s most definitely worth inclusion on this list.
