Rest in Peace: Warren Frost
If you’re a “Twin Peaks” fan, you’re probably also a fan of series regular Warren Frost, who, we are sad to report, passed away yesterday, February 17th, at the age of 91. Frost was the father of Mark Frost, who co-created “Twin Peaks” with David Lynch, and appeared as town physician Will “Doc” Hayward in both the show’s original run and its upcoming revival.
Per THR, Frost died Friday morning at his home in Middlebury, Vermont, after a lengthy illness. His survivors include another son, Scott Frost, a novelist and photographer who also has written for “Twin Peaks” and other shows including “Babylon 5,” and a daughter, actress Lindsay Frost, whose credits include TV’s “Crossing Jordan” and the 2002 horror film The Ring.

Aside from “Peaks,” Frost also appeared in a few other horror projects: “The Stand” mini-series, Psycho IV: The Beginning, Satan’s Touch, “Intruders,” and the classic War of the Colossal Beast.
“We’re saddened today to announce the passing of our dear old dad, Warren Frost,” Mark Frost said in a statement. “From the Normandy shores on D-Day to his 50-year career on stage and screen, he remained the same humble guy from Vermont who taught us that a life devoted to telling the right kind of truths can make a real difference in the lives of others. We’re grateful to have shared him with the world for as long as we did.”
Survivors also include Frost’s wife of 68 years, Virginia, whom he met at Middlebury College, and grandsons Lucas Giolito, a pitcher with the Chicago White Sox, Casey, and Travis.
We here at Dread Central send our condolences to Warren’s friends and family members. Thanks for the memories, and godspeed!
