Nathan Frizzell is said to have voiced the kettle version of Phillip Jeffries, but might Twin Peaks: The Return have gone differently if Bowie himself were to reprise the role?
That was especially true of music icon and Peaks alum David Bowie, who apparently allowed his likeness to be used for one final appearance.
Twin Peaks’ lengthy production and advanced age of its stars made portions of The Return feel like a memorial, even for the ones who didn’t physically appear.
The Return did use archival Fire Walk With Me footage of Bowie’s brief appearance as the vanished southern agent, but eventually represented Jeffries as an oversized kettle of sorts from another dimension (like one does).
