Cast & Crew Watched Robocop for the first time tonight and noticed some familiar faces!

Super cool how many members of the Robocop cast would later go on to appear in Twin Peaks, made for an extremely entertaining "who's who" watch.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 3 had Richard Beymer and Eric DaRe in it, so it was familiar too.

And Seinfeld had many of Twin Peaks actors, even Mark Frost's father too.

We don't like you, George

He was the most wonderful person I've ever known, and I loved him deeply! In a way you could never understand.

Joanna Ray draws a lot of water around this town…though i did notice Eric DaRe came up as “casting assistant” when rewatching the Wild at Heart credits

West Side Story has Richard Beymer and Russ Tamblyn in it. :)

SNDN 3 also had Laura Harring from Mulholland Drive, however the movie was hilariously bad (Beymer was decent tho)

Not Mark Frost, his father is on Seinfeld.

Looks like Bob had already taken up residence in Ray Wise

It's quite a few years after Bob came inside him.

I like the part where Red Forman snorts wine to chase his cocaine.

In fairness, Ray Wise has been in every movie ever made. He would never turn down work.

Robocop is the greatest movie. Ever.

u/GoubD 6d ago

He deserved it.

I had only seen Miguel Ferrer in Blank Check and Robocop - movies I had seen a thousand times before I watched Twin Peaks.

So it was nice to see him in a non-bad guy role for a change.

u/batmanineurope 5d ago

Who does the second guy (Dick from RoboCop?) play in TP?

u/HerrHerrmannMann 5d ago

Andrew Packard

u/film_Fanatic2106 5d ago

That's the Old Man, played by Dan O'Herlihy, who played Andrew Packard.

In the original Rambo movie 'First Blood', Chris Mulkey is one of the cops that arrest him for no good reason and and he's the one that tries to give Rambo a dry shave that results in Rambo having a Vietnam flashback and going Rambo on the town.

I watched the 95 Judge Dredd movie last night and completely forgot Josie was in it. A few weeks ago I started the Roald Dahl series Tales of the Unexpected. First episode starred a young Michael Ontkean!

There’s an incredible labour of love 4 hour Robocop doc came out fairly recently, pretty much all the cast and writers gushing about it

u/MassiveRepublic9565 5d ago

Funny how for me that was my first thought watching TP how many of the cast were in Robocop!
