Career of Emily Stofle
In the 2002 biographical crime thriller “Bundy,” Emily Stofle made her acting debut as one of the victims of notorious real-life serial killer Ted Bundy. Julianna McCarthy, Boti Bliss, and Michael Reilly Burke were also featured in the movie.
She and her future husband initially worked together on his 2006 mystery drama “Inland Empire.” Jeremy Irons, Karolina Gruszka, Peter J. Lucas, Krzysztof Majchrzak, and Julia Ormond were among the many Lynch regulars in the cast. She appeared with Lynch in his digital short “Boat” from 2007. Lynch presented himself as a man driving a boat at night on a lake while Stofle narrates in a dreamy, disoriented manner.
She participated in David Lynch’s 16-minute short film named “Lady Blue Shanghai” for the European luxury brand Dior along with Marion Cotillard, Gong Tao, Cheng Hong, Lu Yong, and Nie Fei. The story centres around Cotillard’s character when she discovers a mystery Dior purse, sharing a similar theme to “Inland Empire.” In ‘The Fourth Noble Truth,’ Gary T. McDonald’s romantic drama from 2014, Stofle made an uncommon appearance alongside Lynch.
She had a part in “Twin Peaks” in 2017. The mystery horror drama series, which was created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, debuted on ABC between April 1990 and June 1991. In its first season, it was one of the most watched shows on television, but season two saw a sharp drop in popularity. After the program was eventually canceled, a prequel to the series called “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me,” a full-length feature picture, was produced in 1992. The program has since gained cult status and is regarded as one of the best works in the mystery and horror genres. After a 25-year break, Frost and Lynch eventually collaborated once more to develop a Showtime limited series that would continue the narrative. Showtime’s “Twin Peaks” or “Twin Peaks: The Return” debuted on May 21 and ran for 18 episodes before ending on September 3. Part 14 of the episode, which aired on August 13, starred Stofle as Sophie. She is one of the customers at the Roadhouse pub and can be seen chatting with Megan (Shane Lynch), another local of Twin Peaks.
