Aw, man. Major Briggs was definitely one of my favourite Twin Peaks characters.

I have never seen Twin Peaks. I have been informed that this needs to change, though the prospect of watching something which never comes to a satisfactory resolution irks me a bit.

Hello, Kawasaki.

Also pops up in Best in Show.

My roommate LOVED him on Twin Peaks.

Log Lady: You wear shiny objects on your chest. Are you proud?
Major Briggs: Achievement is its own reward, pride obscures it.

Windom Earle: Your name, please?
Major Briggs: Garland Briggs.
Windom Earle: Garland, what do you fear most... in the world?
Major Briggs: The possibility that love is not enough.

He only had two scenes as Scully's father in the X-Files but both were unforgettable. He'll be missed.

Responsible for my favourite scene in the whole of Twin Peaks:

Adding to all the praise. Instantly memorable from the get-go on Twin Peaks.
