Frank Silva is a Actor and Property Master American born on 31 october 1949 at Sacramento (USA)
Frank Silva (October 31, 1950 – September 13, 1995) was a Native American set dresser and sometime actor best known for his performance as the evil spirit Killer BOB in the TV series Twin Peaks.
Silva had a degree in lighting design from San Francisco State University and worked as a prop master and set decorator on several films including David Lynch's Dune and Wild at Heart.
Silva worked on Lynch’s Twin Peaks. According to David Lynch on the 2007 Gold Edition DVD release of Twin Peaks, Lynch was upstairs in the Laura Palmer house, near Silva as he worked, and suddenly realized that Silva might have a place in the show. He asked Silva if he was an actor, and Silva said that he was. Later, Lynch accidentally caught him on camera when his reflection appeared in a mirror, and thus was born the character of Killer BOB, a dark spirit who haunts Laura. Silva appeared occasionally as BOB for the remainder of the Twin Peaks series and in the 1992 movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. His first major appearance was in the International Version of the Twin Peaks pilot, which contained a standalone ending that resolved the mystery of the series and incorporated the accidental footage.
Silva appears in the Anthrax video "Only."
Frank Silva died on 13 September 1995, aged 44, from complications of AIDS.
Silva a également participé à la série Twin Peaks de Lynch. En 2007, lors de la sortie de l'édition Gold du coffret de la série, Lynch explique qu'il le regardait travailler sur le tournage de l'épisode pilote lorsqu'il a réalisé que Silva aurait sa place dans la série et lui a demandé s'il était acteur. Plus tard pendant le tournage, Silva apparaît accidentellement dans le reflet d'un miroir, donnant naissance au personnage de Killer Bob de la série et du film de 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.

Rosalie Greenspace is an expedite German woman living in rural Arkansas with her eccentric American husband Ray, who works as a crop-duster airplane pilot. They have seven children: Schnucki, the eldest son who is a US Army soldier stationed out of state; Barbara, the eldest daughter who is a good natured overachieving college student, Schatzi, an underachieving high school student, Kindi, a flamboyant gourmet cook, two teenage twin girls who are never named, and Herzi, the youngest child. Rosalie loves to shop too much to let a little thing like no money stop her. Every day she goes on lavish shopping sprees in the nearby small town of Stuttgart (the same same of her hometown in Germany) where she forges checks, uses false credit cards, and other means to supplement her livelihood with purchases of fancy foods for Kindi to cook and various clothing and appliances for her large house. A devout Catholic, she has a twisted view on religion when she goes every day to a small church and confesses her sins of stealing and swindling to a local priest, believing that if she confesses her crimes to her priest, her "sins" will not become sins anymore.
