He works pretty steadily (and has become part of the Whedon acting repertory after doing his Much Ado About Nothing, which has undoubtedly helped him). -
Spencer Treat Clark from AW grew up unreasonably attractive and is now on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the son of Baron von Strucker:

Michael Ausiello is running with this current story that has been lurking around the Net, though it is not yet totally confirmed: Michael Ontkean has declined to return to TP, and the role of Sheriff Harry S. Truman may or may not be recast with Robert Forster. The details are fuzzy on what may have happened here, as Ontkean was reportedly very keen to return until a couple months ago. As Ontkean is retired in Hawaii, he may have balked at a long-term filming commitment, or it could be a health issue. The show did very much want him back and pursue him. I don't want a Truman recast and I hope it's untrue, but if it is it's been done before (Donna Hayward in FWWM) and Robert Forster is a great actor.

The immortal William Devane talks a little about KL during a Random Roles Q&A with the A.V. Club.
Doctor Who has a new spinoff - Class.
Joel Bocko, creator of the incredible "Journey Through Twin Peaks" video essay series, has assembled a new YT playlist of assorted TP media from 1990-92. Some of it has been seen by many of us before, other clips are new to me. I must again recommend Journey Through Twin Peaks - it's fantastic, and its FWWM sections have apparently begun turning even more minds around on the film, including the folks at Indiewire.
To me the loss is somewhat comparable to Elisabeth Sladen and DW - Catherine Coulson was a tireless and enthusiastic ambassador for TP even in its bleakest years in the mid-late '90s, and forged relationships with a lot of its tight-knit longtime fanbase throughout the decades. The loss is not only to the production and Lynch, and the cast and crew, but to a lot of those people who came to know her over time. She's a piece of the heart of the show that you take for granted will always be there, and you don't quite know what to do when it's not. She was also a jack of many trades - in addition to all her work on films like Eraserhead, she was even 1st assistant camera on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Lynch wrote and shot all of those intros for syndication himself. I hope they're not the last we see of Margaret, and that the rumors are true that she was able to film at least one scene, but we don't know as yet. I know they are supposedly slated to be filming behind closed doors at the Sheriff Station and other locations this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if filming halted briefly. It's just very, very sad. I'm sure however they choose to handle it onscreen will be classy, and probably, appropriately, full of mystery.
There is a rumor floating around that she filmed a scene with fellow longtime Lynch associate Charlotte Stewart (Betty Briggs) and Michael Horse (Deputy Hawk), but no one seems to know if that's true yet. Catherine Coulson was a member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She held onto the original log for 25 years, carefully preserving it, keeping it clean and dry just in case. I believe she regularly brought it to fan events. I hope she got to perform with it one last time. Zap2it has this: Variety is reporting it was cancer.
Very sad news: It hasn't made major media yet, but Catherine E. Coulson (The Log Lady) has passed away. I don't know if she filmed for the new show yet, I hope so but I suspect not. I know she was slated to. Catherine Coulson was a close personal friend of David Lynch for over 40 years, going back to his first films and Eraserhead. Together, Lynch and Coulson created the seed of the "Log Girl (later Lady)" during the long, piecemeal filming of Eraserhead in the '70s. She was also married to the late Jack Nance (Pete Martell). This is pretty crushing for any TP fan, especially those of us who have seen her be one of the show's most relentlessly enthusiastic ambassadors for 25 years. RIP.
