Silva accepted, and Lynch shot footage of him behind Laura's bed with no real idea of what he would do with it. Silva's re...

Mike made his appearance in the pilot episode which was only originally intended to be a "kind of homage to The Fugitive. The only thing he was gonna do was be in this elevator and walk out." However, when Lynch wrote the "fire walk with me" speech, he imagined Mike saying it in the basement of the Twin Peaks hospital – a scene that would appear in an alternative version of the pilot episode, and surface later in Agent Cooper's dream sequence. Mike's alias, Phillip Michael Gerard, is also a r...
