Leland Palmer is a fictional character from the ABC and Showtime television series Twin Peaks, and one of the main characters in the prequel film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.[5] He is portrayed in all his appearances by Ray Wise.
Leland is an attorney, with his primary client being local businessman Ben Horne (Richard Beymer). He is well-known and respected in the town of Twin Peaks. Together with his wife Sarah (Grace Zabriskie) and his daughter Laura (Sheryl Lee), his family seems to be perfect. When Laura is murdered, however, Leland's psychological foundations begin to crumble, and it is gradually revealed that extreme dysfunction, including incest, lies beneath the Palmer family's idyllic surface.
