The actor’s daughter, MJ Smith, reached out to Welcome to
He didn’t tell any of us what he was filming at the time, we found out after he died. I can’t tell you how much it means to me seeing him featured on here.
He was an actor all of his life but usually played smaller parts. But in
The crew made him feel so special when he was filming with them this time, and he said David Lynch made him feel like a king.
Marvin Rosand didn't tell his family he was filming for the new Twin Peaks. 'We found out after he died.' #RIP
Although portrayed by Kevin Young in the series, it seems Marvin’s character is also named Toad.
I can’t wait to see him in an episode. I miss hearing his voice so much. He was an incredible man, loved by many. I’m just sad he didn’t live to be able to see it air. He was so full of life, it was a shock to lose him. Thanks again for your kind words and the featured picture of my Dad. That would have made him so very happy.
Thank you, MJ Smith, for sharing these memories with us.
UPDATE: Marv made his first appearance as Toad in

Marvin Rosand in “The Return” by Jeremy Mackie
‘The Return’ is a modern re-working of “the Open Window”, a short story by the macabre Edwardian writer H.H. Munro. It’s a SIFF-sponsored short film made under tight restrictions in the spring of 2012. Beside premiering at the Seattle International Film Festival, the film also played the Austin Film Festival, and was awarded an Emerging Cinematographer Award from the ICG.
When a techie college grad gets a job with the maintenance crew of the Seattle Center, they endeavor to orient him to the job and it’s slightly spooky history.

Wonderful story! Can’t wait until we get to see him in the cafe window!
Wasn’t Toad a trucker who was a rather chubby regular at the Double R?
@Rob B – yeah I remember a scene in the Double R where there was a character called Toad sitting eating and he was mentioned in the scene and was rushing some food down or something like that…RIP Marvin Rosand…
Thanks, Paul! I thought I might be crazy. I’ve been rewatching the original episodes and there’s a second season episode where Hank rushes Toad into the kitchen because he thinks M. T. Wendt has come into the diner. There’s another reference to him in one of the first season episodes when Norma complains about a shabby tip he left behind.
You know, if I could use my brain for something other than remembering this kind of stuff, I’d be dangerous… 🙂
He not in the seasons but he is the cook in fire walk with me
just keep remembering, folx………..in dreams,in dreams……………….walter
