Man from another place
The Man from another place also known as The Dream Dwarf is a character in the Mark Frost and David Lynch television series, Twin Peaks, which aired over 29 episodes on ABC from 1990-91. He was played by Michael J. Anderson, and appeared in six episodes, including the original pilot, which aired in Europe and Japan, but not in the United States. The character exists as an figurative element of Special Agent Dale Cooper's dreaming consciousness. He is dressed in a sharp red suit and seems to reside in a red room. If nothing else, the color scheme represents fear, terror, arousal, and imminent danger. The Man also speaks backwards and dances hypnotically, and somewhat perversely . There exists in the Man from another place the queer promise of a strange, Occult knowledge that is paramount for Agent Cooper in his pursuit of Laura Palmer's killer. In the prequel to the Twin Peaks TV series, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, he appears again where he enigmatically states "I am the arm". This is believed to refer to Phillip Michael Gerard's missing arm.
