Samantha Sloyan on 'Twin Peaks' [Replay]

This interview originally aired in June of 2025; this version has been re-edited with new content from Jordan.

Samantha Sloyan is a familar face from countless television shows (Grey’s Anatomy, Rizzoli & Isles, The Pitt), but that face will be particularly familiar to anyone who keeps up with the “Flanaverse” — movies and shows from Mike Flanagan, like Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Haunting of Hill House, and now the forthcoming Carrie miniseries, in which Samantha plays Mrs. White, Carrie's mom. At the time of this interview, Sloyan’s latest project is a departure for Flanagan, and perhaps for her as well — The Life of Chuck. Together, she and huge fan Jordan discuss the ways that she feels seen by FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachan) in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, and the many ways that Lynch’s storytelling style appeals to her craft as an actor.

Then, Jordan has a new one quick thing...
