I have stumbled upon a great number of kooky connections that Twin Peaks shares with various other...things. Are these vast webs masterminded by some Higher Power? Has this all been planned from day 1? Are worlds colliding??? Or, is it all just...

Is it coincidence that...

-- Many TP stars have appeared in The X-Files? (ie. David Duchovny, obviously, Michael Horse, Michael J. Anderson, Don Davis, Francis Bay, Richard Beymer, etc.)

-- Don Davis has played a military guy THREE times in THREE different popular cult TV shows? (Major Briggs in TP, Scully's father Captain William Scully in X-Files and General Hammond in Stargate SG-1, not to mention playing an "Army General" in an episode of The Outer Limits
Amazing!

-- Not only have many TP stars appeared on X-Files, but have you ever noticed that the co-creator guy of TP is Mark FROST, yet the man who composes the theme for X-Files is...Mark SNOW???

-- Many TP stars have 1) appeared on Seinfeld (Warren Frost, Grace Zabriskie, Francis Bay, Brenda Strong, Walter Olkewicz) BUT some even in the same episode? It's TRUE! (ie. Warren Frost and Grace Zabriskie playing George's near parents-in-law)

-- There were three TP actors in the brutally funny 80's sci-fi flick RoboCop: Miguel "Oh God, please don't kill me" Ferrer, Ray "I got you, you bastard!" Wise and Dan "Nice shooting, son, what's you name" Herlihy.

-- Almost every main female star of TP have done major nudity in big-screen films? (check out Sheryl Lee in Backbeat, Bliss and Vampires, Sherilyn Fenn in Two Moon Junction, Boxing Helena and Meridian, Lara Flynn Boyle in Threesome, kinda, Madchen Amick in Dream Lover and Heather Graham in Boogie Nights.)
WOW!

--Both Lara Flynn Boyle and Sherilyn Fenn have been involved in films dealing with a threesome? Check out Boyle's Threesome and Fenn's Three of Hearts (which, "coincidentally" also starred Kelly LYNCH!
THIS IS NO ACCIDENT!

-- Richard Beymer and Russ Tamblyn both sang and danced their way into la-la-la-la-la-la-'Merica's heart TOGETHER in West Side Story?

-- Ray Wise starred as Sherilyn Fenn's hubby in Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story?

-- Michael Ontkean, in the film Bye Bye Blues played a character named...COOPER???

-- Richard Farnsworth, who will be starring in David Lynch's film The Straight Story also starred in many films, but two of them stand out: Into the Night and Best Friends For Life... which also happen to be two titles of Julee "Roadhouse singer" Cruise's songs!!! (Well, one song is actually Friends For Life, but you have to admit, it's still bizarre.)

-- This is confusing, but call it Six Peaks of Separation: Frank Whaley, an actor who starred with Kyle "Coop" MacLachlan in The Doors currently co-stars in the TV show Buddy Faro...which just happens to be co-produced by MARK FROST!
