[RW] Oh I don't know, I suppose it might have something to do with my Rumanian heritage. I'm half Rumanian on my mother's side -- no I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with that because we've been here in this country for many, many years. But I do enjoy those legends of Count Dracula - Vladim Paylor [sp?] That's Vlad Impaler, so-called because he impaled his victims. Still Vladim Paylor has a certain ring to it. Thanks for the transcription. -30- Bob you know, early on in the 14th, 15th century, and the whole vampire mystique, and I just love to be scared. I love to lie in bed late at night under the covers and have that book in front of me and shiver a bit when I read passages, certain passages. And it feels good, it feels -- to be on the edge, you know, of that kind of danger, literary danger, that isn't life threatening -- it feels pretty good and I enjoy that feeling. [TG] now that your character of Leland Palmer is dead, is there any chance that you're going to be coming back as an apparition or in a flashback? [RW] Well from your words up to God's ears [she laughs hard, he chuckles] I don't know... I suppose that that's always possible, it would be interesting and I'm sure that some thought about that has been bandied about. They don't miss a trick up there in the Twin Peaks office. [TG] You're at NPR's Los Angeles bureau now, I'm in Philadelphia, we're not really looking at each other. I mean we can't see each other, so I need to know: is your hair really dark, or is it really gray? [RW] Well, oh, you mean my real hair. My real hair is dark, dark brown, and they had to make my hair white through a terrible chemical process that I don't think anybody should have to endure, but I did for several months. They had to use major chemicals and large amounts of them to make my hair as white as it looked on the screen. And right now I'm only half and half... [TG] It's only half grown out? [RW] Yeah, I'm very Madonna-ish, I guess. Very very dark roots that are about an inch long, and then about an inch of white hair on top of that and it looks, everybody tells me that it looks quite good, but I can't imagine that. I'm just giving my hair a breather. I'm letting it rest a little bit and I promised my wife that I'm going to get it cut within the next couple of weeks. [TG] Well I want to thank you a lot for talking with us, it's been a lot of fun to meet Ray Wise. [RW] Yeah, it's great talking to you. A lot of people, they've seen a lot of Leland but not a lot of Ray and it's nice to talk to you. [TG] Actor Ray Wise. [some cool, smoky Twin Peaks music starts, and fades slowly...] --------------------------- Thanks to those on the net who sent the nice encouraging notes, prompting this second posting. I apologize for not responding individually, but this being my first week on the net I have yet to become competent on some basics, like replying to email! Nevertheless, my priorities are clear. I know how to keep up on ALT.TV.TWIN-PEAKS. I'd say all else takes a back seat. ----------- Steve Carol Carol@Pilot.NJIN.Net -----------
