Northern Exposure

Demian played a citizen of Cicely, Alaska in two episodes of the TV series Northern Exposure. In the first episode, Demian participated in a town meeting.

In the second episode — the 23rd story of the third season — Demian was present for the formation of the town itself. The following images are from that show.

The story of the formation of the town, taking place in 1909, was called “Cicely.” It was an extraordinary story about how two people — in this case two women who were life partners — can perform a miracle and transform a wilderness into a thriving town and cultural center.

“Cicely” was scripted by Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider. The story was beautifully shot by Frank Prinzi. The director, Rob Thompson, also worked on a TV show, Cold Feet, in which I also worked as an extra.

Most of the Northern Exposure stories centered around the (sometimes rather quirky) members of the small town of Cicely in present-day Alaska. The town was physically isolated, which had the effect of magnifying the tribulations its citizens experienced. It often presented a charming mixture of drama and comedy. Northern Exposure ran on CBS, and aired from 1990 to 1995, and ran for 110 episodes. The show is in syndication on the Arts and Entertainment cable network.
