90s heartthrob who starred opposite Lara Flynn Boyle before ditching fame looks


This 90s heartthrob is best known for starring alongside Lara Flynn Boyle in a cult classic supernatural murder mystery.

And on Tuesday, the actor, 59, looked a world away from his former screen idol days as he walked his dog in Los Angeles.

The New York native wore a casual black zip-up hoodie with a pair of grey jeans and black sneakers.

The former TV star displayed a bushy grey beard, while his once-thick raven hair was shaved into a thinned-out buzz cut. 

His 57-year-old actress wife, with whom he has a son, was also pictured out later in the day.  

Can you guess who this actor is?

That’s right! It’s James Marshall, who played the brooding James Hurley in the 1990 series Twin Peaks.

His character was the motorcycle-riding ‘secret’ boyfriend of murdered prom queen, Laura Palmer, played by Sheryl Lee.

Meanwhile, Boyle played Donna Hayward, Palmer’s best friend. 

Marshall’s wife, Renee Griffin, was also pictured out on Tuesday, looking casual in a plaid blue button-up shirt and blue, ripped jeans.

The Number One Fan actress, 57, kept cozy in a pair of UGG boots and carried a brown handbag.

Her blonde tresses were pulled up into a casual updo.

Marshall and Griffin have been married since 1998.

The actor was a series regular throughout both seasons of the original Twin Peaks series, which aired from 1990 to 1991.

He later reprised his role in the prequel film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, directed by David Lynch in 1992.

And in 2017, he returned for the limited series revival, Twin Peaks: The Return, on Showtime.

In 2010, Marshall’s career was sidelined by a high-profile $11 million lawsuit against pharmaceutical company Hoffmann-LaRoche.

The actor alleged that he suffered gastrointestinal injuries from the acne medication Accutane, leading to a four-month hospital stay and the surgical removal of his colon.

Marshall claimed the surgery derailed his momentum in Hollywood.

Ultimately, his claim was unsuccessful.
