The day after tomorrow

Kenneth Welsh, the prolific Canadian actor best known for his role as Windom Earle in "Twin Peaks," has died. He was 80.

Other notable films Welsh had roles in include “The Fog,” “The Covenant” and “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” He was set to make a guest appearance in the Prime Video revival of Canadian sketch comedy series “The Kids in the Hall,” which will release later this month. Welsh was cast as Windom Earle, one of the central villains on “Twin Peaks” Season 2, in 1990. After “Twin Peaks,” Welsh started working more in America, though he continued to make frequent appearances in Canadian productions. Welsh’s first screen credit was as a performer in “Shoestring Theatre,” a 1963 CBC anthology series that saw a group of actors perform minimalist, experimental productions of plays. In 2006, he would play himself in an episode of “Slings & Arrows,” an acclaimed comedy series set in a fictional theater company modeled after Stratford.
