The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 13: The Gifted and
the Damned

 

Welcome to another episode of our podcast! This one looks at
Season 2, Episode 6′s “Demons,” written by Harley Peyton and
Robert Engels, and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. 

In this one, shut-in creeper Harold Smith abruptly closes his
living novel on Donna Hayward when he finds she and Maddie snooping
and trying to find where he keeps Laura Palmer’s secret diary. It
takes so little for girls to become unclean!

We have a little confusion over whether the Roadhouse and
Bookhouse are the same building. They are not, but located just
yards from each other. Part of the confusion is that an interior
scene of the tiny cookhouse was filmed at The Old Place Restaurant
in Cornell, CA, which is much larger, books and shelves added to
the real-life decor. 

We discuss a would-be romantic scene between Donna and James and
how we feel it’s hampered somewhat by James Marshall’s acting.
That’s just an opinion, and if James is your favorite actor or
character on the show, good for you. Per IMDB, Marshall started as
Jim Greenblatt, logging a few TV roles before changing his name and
playing several characters on Growing Pains. Twin
Peaks and its attendant prequel film were perhaps his career
highlights, but he does a very credible job as the pained, confused
Pfc. Downey in A Few Good Men for Rob
Reiner. 

The late Ian Abercrombie appears here as an insurance adjustor
of sorts, making sure Leo Johnson is well-cared for. Abercrombie’s
credits are too numerous to mention, but often involve playing a
butler. Some highlights include, The Lost World: Jurassic
Park, Northern Exposure, Wild Wild
West, NewsRadio, and seven episodes
of Seinfeld as Elaine Benes’ boss, Mr. Pitt. In
later years, he did a lot of animation voiceover work such
as The Batman, Green Lantern: The Animated
Series, Rango and Star Wars: The
Clone Wars. He also did several episodes of Wizards
of Waverly Place and worked with Lynch again on
2006′s Inland Empire. 

Chris has fun reciting the Killer Bob rhyme.
