Warren Frost
A World War II vet, Warren Frost taught theater at the University of Minnesota before becoming renowned for his role as “Twin Peaks” Dr. Will Hayward. Interestingly, he was even the father of Mark Frost—co-creator of the series. But we bet talent rather than the familial bond landed him the role.
Warren eventually passed away in 2017 at 91, but not before a poignant return to “Twin Peaks.” He also had other screen credits, including “Slaughterhouse-Five,” “Matlock,” and “Seinfeld.”
