Phillip Jeffries

FBI Special Agent Phillip Jeffries is a fictional character in the Twin Peaks franchise. He was created by series creator David Lynch and portrayed by David Bowie and voiced and dubbed by Nathan Frizzell in Twin Peaks: The Return. He first appeared in the prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces, which extended his role from the film, and returns in the 2017 revival series. Jeffries was an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who disappeared while on assignment in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987. His role was expanded in the 2017 revival series, but with the death of Bowie, Jeffries is instead depicted as a white glowing orb emitted by a large kettle-shaped machine, in a motel room above a convenience store. Before his death, Bowie gave Lynch permission to reuse footage of his character from the movie on the condition that he be dubbed by a Louisianan actor.
