Peaks Performance: Officially billed 'The Man From Another Place,' you'll know him as the strange-talking, dancing dwarf from Cooper's dreams/nightmares. One of Peaks' most iconic presences, despite only appearing in a handful of episodes, a key part of Anderson's oddness came from a lifelong ability to speak in reverse phonetics, which Lynch then played backwards.
Damn Fine Career... or Wrapped in Plastic? Given his height (the result of a genetic bone condition that prevented him from walking until his 20s) Anderson has specialised in the weirder side of film and TV, with roles in obligatory post-Peaks series The X-Files and Deep Space Nine.
Freakshow drama Carnivale was a rare shot at taking centre stage, but it's the Lynch association - continued in Muholland Dr. - that defines his career.
Anderson is appearing at Twin Peaks UK Festival 2010, Riverside Studios, Hammersmith on Saturday 27th November.

Sheryl Lee played a fairly large role in One Tree Hill as Peyton's Mum. (Not that I watch that rubbish!) ;)

Shocked to see Sherilyn Fenn in an episode of House - from Season 5 - the other night. She plays the mother of a dying child and basically has to look worried a lot.

How could you not include Sherilyn Fenn's 1988 starring role in "Two Moon Junction"? One of the most erotic films I've ever seen. Not crass pornography; true eroticism...with the requisite nudity to please the men. That film was my first introduction to Fenn, and I had expected to see much more of her (figuratively, of course). Sadly, I think narrow minds may have reacted negatively to this early steamer of a film and wrongly categorized her as just flesh. If you like Sherilyn and you haven't seen this movie, you MUST see "Two Moon Junction". And ladies, the male lead is smokin'!
