"David Lynch, what a good guy he is," Forster said about this. He wanted to hire me for a small amount, but I was enslaved to another guy for a pilot that never went. So I didn't do the original Twin Peaks, which would have been a life changer. If you recall those years as a phenomenon, it's a massive success. But I didn't do it. [...] And this time, my agents called me and they said, David Lynch is going to call you. "I'd like you to come and work with me again," he said five minutes later. "Whatever it is David, here I come!" I said.
