hi mike! i was rewatching the haunting of hill house bc i absolutely love it and its one of my favorite shows - and i just noticed that dr. montague was played by the same actor who plays dr.jacoby on twin peaks (another favorite show of mine !!!) and i got so excited. was this little easter egg on purpose (i assume it was haha)? also - this made me wonder what your opinions on twin peaks are? who is your favorite character and have you ever met david lynch / does he inspire your work in any way? anyways, just wanted to ask you this and tell you that i love all your work :) keep slaying! <3

Hi there - that actor is Russ Tamblyn. I wanted to cast him because he played Luke in the original 1963 adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House: titled The Haunting, directed by Robert Wise. As for Twin Peaks, I have the most awful confession to make. I've never said this out loud before... I'm summoning courage... deep breath... here goes...

I've actually never seen it. Not for lack of interest - I hear it's great - I purchased the big box set on blu-ray and fully intend to immerse myself in it, I just haven't had the time to do that journey properly. I was too young for the series when it first came out in 1990. I was only twelve, and I didn't watch horror back then, aside from classic Twilight Zone. My big awakening was the X-Files in 1993. Over the years I've been told I'd love Twin Peaks, and have always wanted to check it out, but just... haven't. I'll fix that this year and do the whole thing. But yeah... I cast Russ because of his connection to Hill House.

Hi Mike! Are you a big Twin Peaks fan (this is mostly rhetorical as I've found great creatives are and I figured you'd be anyway)? What was the process like of bringing Russ Tamblyn to Hill House? I was so thrilled to see him pop up, do you have any other TP actors you'd like to work with or have attempted to include in your projects?

Hey there! I am a Twin Peaks fan, but I wanted to bring Russ into the show because of Robert Wise's The Haunting ('63).

Russ played Luke in the very first adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel. The character was of course very different from the one we presented in the series, but as one of the only living actors from that amazing movie, I really wanted extend the invitation. Russ was retired when we approached him, but the chance to return to Hill House appealed to him and I was elated when he said he'd join us. He was only on set for one day, but it was a remarkable day. We made sure to allow time to sit at his feet and listen to his stories about working with Wise, and about his experience with The Haunting (though I peppered him questions about West Side Story for at least half an hour). It was a great honor for me to give him a tour of our set, and watch him light up as he recognized the overlapping elements (he particularly liked the spiral staircase).

I most remember him being on set with Victoria. Early in the day of their scenes together, he asked her what she had done before this. "This is my first job," she said. He smiled and said "That's fantastic. I think this is my last job." It was a surreal experience, and one of the brightest points of that production for me. It was an honor to bring Russ Tamblyn back to Hill House.
