Ray Wise

Actor Ray Wise (Good Night, and Good Luck) portrays the devil in Reaper, a new series from Clerks writer-director Kevin Smith.

The show centers on a 21-year-old slacker, Sam, who discovers that his parents sold his soul to the devil when he was born. Sam must now serve as the devil's bounty hunter, helping return evildoers to hell.

Reaper premieres on the CW network on Sept. 25.

It was recently revealed that Wise's character on Twin Peaks was the killer of Laura Palmer. He joins Fresh Air to talk about his role as Leland Palmer, whom he says he thought of as a good friend.
