‘Twin Peaks’ Star Does ‘ER’ Rotation
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Madchen Amick, a former star of “Twin Peaks,” will check into NBC’s “ER” this season.
Amick will have an extended recurring role on the long-running medical drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She’ll play a social worker who encounters Dr. John Carter (Noah Wyle) at County General and becomes involved romantically with him.
This spring, she starred with John Stamos in a comedy pilot that picked up for midseason. It’s unclear whether her commitment to “ER” will affect her role on the ABC show.
Amick played waitress Shelly Johnson on “Twin Peaks,” David Lynch’s surreal early-’90s ABC drama, and its feature-film prequel “Fire Walk with Me.” Her credits also include “Sleepwalkers” and recurring parts on “Gilmore Girls” and “Dawson’s Creek.”
In other medical-show casting news, Justin Chambers (“The Musketeer,” “Hysterical Blindness”) has joined ABC’s midseason drama “Grey’s Anatomy.” He’ll play a new intern and potential love interest for series star Ellen Pompeo.
