What is your favorite Agent Albert moment?

[@kevinalford]

I love you sheriff Truman.

[@mrs.valdez1387]

"look it's trying to think!" It was mean of him, but by golly it gave me proper belly laugh, so damn funny Also "try not to drag your knuckles when you walk"

[@krisi1281]

Welcome to amateur hour

[@simonthomson217]

Him laughing at the story Ed told about how Nadine lost her eye.

[@morty1977]

Any moment Albert was on screen

All the Albert moments are Albert's best moments.

[@frithkin]

I concur .

[@thewhatness]

*THERE THEY ARE, ALBERT. FACES OF STONE.*

[@amphitheatre]

that one cracked me up.

[@rusty1923]

I died.

[@lyramckenzie8550]

I wanna go scuba diving :(

[@Chrystabell]

It's so hard to choose, but I think my favorite moment is when Albert makes Gordon say "please". Just killer and gets me every time. Thank you for putting together and posting this tribute to a wonderful actor an magnificent human. I really enjoyed watching it and I love that so many are celebrating Miguel. What a blessing we got to have Albert in season 3 in all his glory. It is a great honor of my life to have shared the screen with him and gotten to know him. I feel immeasurably blessed. Love.

[@msgeek703]

I wish he had gotten to see the finished product. I also wish we could have been able to say goodbye to him the way we did The Log Lady. I suppose that delightful scene where it looked like Special Agent Rosenfield had found a soul mate at last will have to do.

[@MrCecil]

It's him telling him to say please, but also going, "you heard me" when Cole plays dumb.

[@Ruddermeister]

There's an Albert inside most of us. It tends to come to the surface as we're getting older and more cynical. Pure genius!

[@sounakbanik3087]

"You've gone soft in your old age" "Not where it counts buddy " 🔥🔥🔥🔥Damn Gordon

[@kolmilan]

Agent Preston: 😏

[@squamish4244]

And he didn't even say it in his usual voice. Quietly made it extra savage.

[@ChelseaColeslaw]

Perfect scene to end on. I love you, Sheriff Truman.

[@cheeverbeaver]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@ChelseaColeslaw]

@@cheeverbeaver This is very on the nose for a comment section in a Twin Peaks video

[@MisterBrimm]

Man, none of this stuff gets old, it just keeps reminding you how great it is every time you watch it.

[@Qwazin]

Original Run: Cooper & Truman Fire Walk With Me: Desmond & Stanley The Return: Cole & Rosenfield

[@ToniSukkala]

My favorite moment; "What the hell kind of two-bit operation they running out of this treehouse, Cooper? " It's even funnier with Finnish subtitles. Cracks me up every time.

[@ronvlaarsvar6867]

Coopers smile not breaking is great aswell

[@wisemoon40]

Somehow, Gordon's mis-heard remarks always crack me up. I would have paid money for a Cole-Rosenfield spinoff. RIP Miguel Ferrer.

[@vladanmilovanovic4343]

You didn't add Albert's reply to Cooper in Season 1 : "Sounds like you've been snacking on some of the local mushrooms." :DDD

[@GreedAndSelfishness]

Yeah! Thats my all time favorite!

[@xiDaban78]

8:47 making Matthew Lillard, who played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movie adaptation, say 'I want to go SCUBA diving' is strangely satisfying to be honest

[@jellointhewind8712]

9:10 I love how after Gordon's joke falls flat, he tries to save it with a fun fact 😂

[@Jillbles]

So many of this cast have left us. :-(

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

It's sad, many of the greats of the boomer generation seem to have a foreshortened lifespan. Then again I guess some of the cast that has passed away were older than boomers.

[@godzillasaurbuttersworth3176]

Man, I'm really gonna miss Albert

[@wesleyratko7830]

Also, you saved the best moment for last.

[@arven67]

„Look, it‘s trying to think“ and the last scene of course 👍🏻 What a great loss, Miguel was a class of it‘s own. RIP🙏🏻

[@genea.p8578]

That was excellent. Never realized he was related to George Clooney and his mother is Rosemary Clooney. Great actor. What a talented man. RIP Miguel Ferrer.

[@airdev3386]

I was a fan if his since Robocop. RIP Miguel Ferrer.

[@ianh6845]

Fun Fact: David Lynch hired Miguel based on his performance in RoboCop.

[@MereMusic78]

This was a spectacular collection. I love Albert. Sad to have lost this great talent.

[@grimeztwoeleven]

Albert calling leo johnson mr. potato head

[@dgpdx]

I loved the look on Lynch's face when the autopsy doctor topped Albert's "when did he lose his marbles" line and also the look on Tammy's face when Lynch said, in response to Albert's "You've gone soft in your old age," "Not where it counts, old buddy."

[@jeremytassin7978]

One Albert moment I love is not even an Albert scene. It's when Ed tells his Cooper how him and Nadine got together, Albert just can't stop laughing.

[@mikeforester3963]

Miguel Ferrer. Every single character I know he played was great, and Albert ranks at the top of the list.

[@Zelix678]

Albert, the true hero of twin peaks.

[@lilstinker1949]

"You chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed"

[@wesleyratko7830]

I think Albert got a little softer in his old age. (Also, shout out to Ryan's awesome Reading Terminal Market shirt. Philly!!)

[@GreedAndSelfishness]

Not where it counts, buddy.

[@BambooAcrobatVerte]

The turnip joke gets me every damn time.

[@rorybarber5076]

1989 Albert: "I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation!" 2017 Albert: 10:04

[@vocalsg13]

Singing in the rain is one of my favorite songs and ways to cheer me up during bad days. Well sometimes I also feel like "fuck Gene Kelly", and died laughing when that moment came. Sooner or later, it was something that needed to be expressed in my life. Farewell Miguel Ferrer, you had plenty more to give but gave enough already.

[@thedrewsephYT]

The Finale Dossier is out!!!! You guys need to review it!!!! It fills in SO many gaps from the finale and answers a lot of questions we all had during Season 3!

[@stirnersretrowave5094]

"Albert, sometimes I worry about you."

[@averynacho8038]

RIP loved this man

[@kimmolaine8069]

My favorite is when Big Ed talked about shooting Nadine's eye out by mistake, he was drying tears out of laughter and had to leave.

[@eastendthug]

I always seen Albert's character as a continuation of Bob Morton from Robocop.

[@ironmanjakarta8601]

He was obviously channeling Jack Webb which was genius.

[@marthapozo4881]

Wow, found his "What is a cop" clip and was blown away by it. Thanks!

[@muninraven3327]

The insult "Blithering hayseed" has enriched my life since I was roughly 14-15, when I enjoyed the original broadcasts of Twin Peaks, here in the UK. And yes, here, in the UK, there has been such a bountiful crop of people I have had the (ahem... ) pleasure of meeting, to whom that simple phrase/insult has been such a beacon of truth... and I am mostly referring to the urban dwellers!

[@lukacalov1988]

When he said "What happened in season 2 i lost it",

[@matthoostal2268]

Thanks for the compilation. RIP to an excellent actor.

[@alanhealy1885]

Loved Albert from the first moment he walked in the door, his scenes with David Lynch are awesome.He was very like his father Jose when he passed away. R.I.P. Miguel. taken way too early.

[@VTPPGLVR]

I've tried Twin Peaks and it isn't my thing, but MAN I LOVE ALBERT!!

[@sonicthehedgegod]

man, it really does sound like he’s struggling to speak in season 3. when i first watched it i only noticed how much more gravelly his voice was, but watching it back now it really seems like it was really labored 😔

[@NewjerseyFan]

should have included in the one bit alittle longer where lynch says sometimes i worry about you Albert

[@tsimp2891]

I've always wanted to know: Since the picture of the nuclear explosion behind Gordon's desk is relevant to the creation of the Black Lodge and birth of Bob etc., how is the picture of Franz Kafka on the opposite side of the room have any relevance to the show?

[@kaewonf8]

Metamorphosis.

[@licht_und_schatten]

Albert is so my favourite character! I've loved him from the first moment!

[@rustyshackelford934]

The casual Kafka portrait in the back directly across from a photo or the Trinity test

[@clown-cult96]

He was the best part of all 3 series of Twin Peaks and all the seasons of NCIS LA he appeared in.

[@Lawiet3]

Albert, it's fantastic! :D

[@nettieforce1]

All of Albert is priceless...✌🌏🌎🌍💐

[@DoogieTalons]

10:04 Wheres Tammy 10:05 There she is... WTF

[@alessandro_ajm4278]

Some Twin Peaks nerd has probably made a theory about how Tammy flashed out of existence for a bit there and why it proves that she is

[@MoskHotel]

“We live inside a dream...”

[@stevesutherland1641]

"I'M WORRIED ABOUT COOP!"

[@patchdavis35]

We always loved when Albert showed up at the crime scene in the woods, and the young Deputy went running toward his bosses, pointing back and saying, "Its, it's it's" because he was so scared.

[@MoskHotel]

Rip Miguel Ferrer Always be remembered as Agent Albert as well as Bob Morton.

[@epicrapfan73]

And Carl Quigley and Shan-Yu!

[@kevinalford]

You guys have to do more Peaks videos. Please!

[@muninraven3327]

I ordered a t-shirt from one of those sites where you can order a t-shirt from. I chose the colour of the shirt, which was almost olive green, if you will. I then chose a font (I forget) and also the colour of that font; Yellllooowww. "Blithering Hayseed" was the wording I decided would adorn my shirt. I received the shirt and promptly began wearing it. I could not imagine how many strangers - of all ages - would pass comment. In line at the bank, taking the dog for a walk, sitting in a public space... Still just blown aback by how many people knew the reference! I'm thinking of a very simple "Fish = Percolator" shirt next.

[@aaronmoore6275]

9:56 Albert ready with the Heater. Love that guy.

[@TerraRubicon]

Miquel Ferrer was a wonderful actor, adding to the mystery and smorgasbord of Twin Peaks.

[@metamorphone]

this is great - thanks!

[@shsharding44]

I always adored Ferrer- anything he was in, he caused it to be better. On an odd note, I realized about a year ago that he looked so much like my Grandfather. Odd fact, I know.

[@CavHDeu]

6:25 love that smirk

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Be blessed for that video Ryan and Greg! I can't imagine Twin Peaks without Albert. I love Albert, Miguel Ferrer was perfect. May he RIP. Will you make a video about Gordon Cole? ;)

[@lisaheisey6168]

A Reading Terminal Market tee shirt. Someone obviously has been visiting my hometown of Philadelphia.

[@avilpennmysticaande]

Albert Rosenfield... Amazing character! Miguel Ferrer is dearly missed as a remarkable talent as are his parents: Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney 💚

[@andreasbroman6799]

Sheriff Truman "You were...visited... by a giant?" Cooper nods Albert "Any relation to the dwarf?"

[@epicrapfan73]

7:09 - 7:15 That sounds like something the Tourette's Guy would say holding an umbrella on a rainy day!

[@vazzeg]

Being a kid is loving Albert's cynicism. Growing up is realizing what it stems from.

[@phototristan]

Seems like he was nicer in the return, almost to a fault.

[@flyboy2880]

Love the last scene best.

[@klaskristian1]

Haha. Great! A great character!

[@Panyc333]

Please keep making these

[@mystix008]

Albert made me want to go into forensic science. I didn't do it , but I wanted to!!

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

I recently started watching the series for the first time. My eyes lit up when it was revealed that the rude voice over the phone was none other than Miguel Ferrer. Clearly the writers of the show knew who they had and they completely turned him loose on that little town. lol Gonna stop this clip to avoid spoilers but I had to say something.

[@mrpepre]

LEGEND!

[@jmeijer6995]

8:04 is the best. Really caught me off guard

[@bhartiparihar]

I miss you guys! How about doing analysis for seasons 1 & 2?! Please Please Please

[@paisan8766]

The Reading Terminal Market shirt is dope!! Phillu STAND UP!

[@comeflynextome94]

6:57 Aww, NOW look who's trying to think!

[@justjash]

that last clip

[@carolepworth4807]

I 🖤 you Miguel Ferrer RIP😓

[@KrisGaruna]

"Perhaps you have been snacking on the local mushrooms"

[@madisonbadger9454]

Brilliant

[@aaronmoore6275]

7:49 right here. Albert is a True Believer. All smalltown bs aside, he's SHOOK.

[@NF-xy6br]

I love you Miguel Ferrer

[@seef4966]

Albert's path is a strange and difficult one

[@Stormin.93]

9:20 fuck sake, I just got that joke

[@deirdre108]

"....he has a strange and difficult path."

[@jackmccallum3224]

Hey guys. I just went back and started watching the return again and at the end of part one the police open up the principals car and find a chunk of flesh which I think looks a lot like the chunk of flesh that came off of Ike the spikes hand when he tried to kill Douge

[@eyb0ss253]

What happens in season 2?

[@depp0000000000]

Has some good moments in fwwm and missing pieces as well

[@disgruntledtoonbot1336]

I just realized who cornfed was based on in duckman

[@PcGameGold]

I think Twin Peaks was cursed so many actors passed in the making of season 3.

[@emartin86]

That's exactly what I was thinking. There's been a crazy amount of actors & actresses that have passed away. Miguel Ferrer, Frank Silva, Jack Nance, Don S. Davis, Dan O’Herlihy, John Boylan, Catherine E. Coulson, Warren Frost, Harry Dean Stanton & David Bowie. I might have even missed some names.

[@gutchdutts]

I think it was actually blessed... Catherine Coulson filmed her final scene days before her death and we got plenty of great scenes from Miguel Ferrer and Harry Dean Stanton (in at least his late 80s!) before they passed, too. Even a pleasant Warren Frost cameo. Half the original cast was middle-aged as it is

[@akikolehmainen88]

Miganarchine, nonsense. The all held on as long as they could to be part of it. And several were gone before they even got started.

[@Foxtrop13]

they wait 25 freaking years you dont need to be cursed to die after that long time

[@mayrasilva9874]

I fucking love Albert ❤️

[@nevinfilm]

Apologies about Albert!!

[@benjipkcrew]

Is it just me or is there a reversal effect at 0:26 - another weird time distortion? Or am I seeing shit I want to see?

[@nickl9317]

Venality, insincerity and a rather irritating method of expressing yourself. Ben Horne would go on and on all the time and usually had control, but it took albert 10 seconds to shoot him off his high horse

[@OTownNews]

“Stupidity is not a necessarily inherent trait.”

[@mikhailfonarov3116]

David Lynch is playing future Robert Muller here

[@robertbusek30]

My favorite Albert moment: the look on his face after Andy rips him a new one after he and Cooper review the facts in the Laura Palmer case in the Season 2 premiere. My second favorite Albert moment: His comments on Coop's wardrobe shift.

[@jellointhewind8712]

7:09 cracks me up

[@crunchyvidsbro]

Snacking on the local mushrooms!

[@lightscameraellie2608]

*turning over twoards the window in his seat on the plane and pulling a jacket over his head, trying to sleep* (To Diane before she even opens her mouth to speak) I know, I know... 'Fuck you Albert'... ~ Albert RIP Miguel Ferrer ❤️
