I cannot for the life of me figure out why he is so underrated as an actor today, unless he doesn't want big roles. I feel like he would have the potential to be one of the all-time greatest actors.
Ray Wise's performance is a real treat for those that see the show and witness his masterclass. There are many masterful performances in Twin Peaks, in particular Leland was done to perfection.
Its honestly really smart for him to not tell ray he was the killer because leeland didnt know he was the killer! I imagine it would be much harder for ray to get into charecter if he knew from the start it was leeland.
Given the way he talks about almost quitting rather than going through with being Laura's killer, I'm amazed Lynch was able to get him to come back and play Leland again in Fire Walk With Me, where he's psycho-Leland all along and we see him actually murdering Laura.
That is seriously one of the best Lynch impressions I’ve ever heard 🤣 Ray Wise is such a gift to this world. And also personification of Santa Clause in Fargo was sheer brilliance ❤️
@@ronanwalsh6394 Nope. NOOOOPE. I've learned now recently by commenting this on another video about Fargo (from various angry repliers) that his character on Fargo unfortunately wasn't actually Santa Claus 🤣He apparently was playing a different mythical legend called "The Wandering Jew." Still kinda cool though. Just not Santa...
In one of the behind the scenes with Madchen Amick she said they didn't actually use any film when they were filming the fake scenes. Didn't wanna waste the cash. I would love to see it too though.
The possession of this man was pretty much the reason I didn’t sleep well as a child. BOB was, if I remember correctly, only in the show for a combined total of a little over 6 mins, and even when “it is happening again” happened, and knowing that was the night of the reveal…. Still, to this day, that murder is right at the top of my list of scariest moments on tv for me. Rounding out the top 3 are two other sequences from the same season “Ronette’s Dream” and “The BOB couch crawl”… “Nightmare Fuel” is both the best description of the scenes and a true understatement. I’d say Maddie’s murder could only be overtaken by the couch crawl….Damn, I guess I didn’t need to sleep tonight 🤦🏻♂️. Thank you for the post, and be well everyone. I’ll see you in 25 years…
Ray Wise is absolutely beautiful. His acting in those scenes was incredible! I appreciate how the cast has stayed close after all this time. You can see the genuine respect for one another. Cheers to Twin Peaks, and all the Peak Freaks!!!
that show got me really emotional, well I don't think I ever cried but I mean I was really emotionally invested in a character or characters more than shows with 8 seasons...and the lead girl or focus of the show was dead the entire time, I mean it's a show where the entire series the character is dead yet her character develops the entire time and makes you emotionally attached, it's really something, I can understand why he got emotional, this can happen to anyone at any time, a life with such meaning and potential and influence just blinks out of existence, it happens every single day
@@isaiahromero9861 lookin at his performance, yes, I thought that he was having some bloodthirsty ecstasy while playing the role. When you unleash such feelings, you may get a berserk state. I don't mean that Ray is such a person, I mean that I'm surprised that it was unpleasant for him. I thought it was like unleashing the beast.
What Laura went through was far worse than just being murdered, it was downright demonic. I don't think anyone could feel entirely comfortable playing such a character.
Imagine how it must have felt essentially being let go from the show. He learned that he was the killer while shooting episode 7 and he's written out in episode 9. I'm grateful that he came back for future guest appearances and the movie.
@@strangefeeling8901 I just watched that part till the end rn. I just began watching twin peaks again lately after spending time watching all of lynch's other work (films)..I swear I remember Laura showing up in a very bright light. It's been a while since I watched S2 till the end, it might've actually been in FWWM The Missing Pieces or an uncut scene.. it's been a while.
Laura reaching her arms out sounds like direction Lynch gave Ray Wise. He does that a lot apparently: giving actors direction which is meant to enhance their understanding of the emotions in the scene rather than what the scene really is itself.
It really seems like everyone who's worked with David Lynch has a hilarious impression of him
lynch is a real eccentric guy
It’s always done in good humor and with love
Ray Wise's death performance was Emmy quality work....
"Leland, your soul has set you face to face with a clear light..." goosebumps!
@@renatoh.santosdasilva3080 Leland "-he said he wanted to play, he opened me and I invited him and he came inside me."
Connor "-He went inside?"
His entire performance through the show deserved an award

“It’s gonna be a BEAUTIFUL thing Ray” oh yeah, that’s David Lynch
Read that In his voice

Me too. I wonder if he's ever said anything about that.
Ray's David Lynch impression was spot on!

Naomi watts and laura dern's are unforgettable.
HE WAS SANTA CLAUS?! I need to rewatch that season!!

Sheryl Lee's smile is otherworldly
👱♀️ *"I'LL SEE YOU. IN THE NEXT. TWENTY FIVE YEARS. MEANWHILE..."* 👱♀️
Damn good pfp!
She's so beautiful.
I can't hear Lynch speak without hearing "Gordon"... YELLING.
One of my favorite characters in any media, ever.
Man, I’d kill to see the Richard Beymer version of the scene. It’s almost surprising that it wasn’t included in the From Z To A set.
In one of the behind the scenes with Madchen Amick she said they didn't actually use any film when they were filming the fake scenes. Didn't wanna waste the cash.
I would love to see it too though.
The death of Leland was a poetic and tragic moment in the series.

Sheryl Lee is disarmingly beautiful.
No wonder he sings so well, his speaking voice is beautiful.
love when everybody stops laughing and remain completely silent. the power of twin peaks.
That David impression was amazing ahaha
Ray Wise is absolutely beautiful. His acting in those scenes was incredible! I appreciate how the cast has stayed close after all this time. You can see the genuine respect for one another. Cheers to Twin Peaks, and all the Peak Freaks!!!
I can never get enough of people imitating David Lynch

Haha the funny thing Ray also thought Ben is the real killer 🤣
What an incredibly sensitive man. No wonder he was so very good.
I wish they hadn't cancelled Reaper, Ray Wise was ultra cool as the devil in that one, super hilarious.
Loved him in fresh off the boat
Reaper is a masterpiece of tv.. it’s better than 99.9% of tv shows made in the last 15 years..
Ray Wise's Lynch is a character in of itself
leland’s death scene did in fact make me ugly cry
the smile on Sheryl Lee ❤
I just noticed his voice is just like Frank Sinatra's...
Ray Wise is a national treasure.
OMG HIS DAVID LYNCH IMPRESSION
So Ray didn't like for his character to kill Laura, wow. Because his performance was great, I never would have thought that.
So you thought Ray Wise was actually into murder?

@@gordn_ramsi Yeah, but it's not about comfort
Great video! Amazing acting performance
Funny, I suspected Leland right from the beginning. The way he carried on at Laura's funeral, i thought, yep, it's got to be him.
I can't imagine how he felt about the movie
Imagine how it must have felt essentially being let go from the show. He learned that he was the killer while shooting episode 7 and he's written out in episode 9. I'm grateful that he came back for future guest appearances and the movie.
Ray was pretty scary in Robocop also.
"Get away from me maaannn!"
@@smithjedediah "don't touch me man"
Why was this reveal so obvious to me, it wasn't spoiled for me. Just how he acts especially at the funeral and when Jacques is arrested
And it was never supposed to be that thanks to studio executives meddling in
Her voice is so dreamy

Spoiler alert, geez man.

Season 2, episode 9, 40min in.
