My Take
Dana Ashbrook will always be Bobby Briggs to me. His work on Twin Peaks, from the original 1990–91 run through the 1992 prequel Fire Walk with Me and the 2017 revival, is exactly the kind of role I love — a character that ages alongside the actor across decades. There's something special about returning to a part nearly thirty years later, and I think it takes real trust in a project to do that. Born in San Diego in 1967, he's also worked as a stage and screen actor and even a screenwriter, which tells me he's more versatile than the one iconic role suggests.
