When 'Twin Peaks' happened the first time, I was a stage actor in Seattle. I was called in for an audition for this pilot, and at that time, it was called 'Northwest Passage,' and nobody knew anything. I thought, 'Oh, okay, Lewis and Clark.' And from that moment, I fell down the rabbit hole.
When someone offers me a part, I say, 'Yes, please.'

I believe race is the great social problem of the 20th century. We did not solve it, and we are doomed to grapple with it in the 21st century. We must hear each other's stories.
