I'm not sure I've ever seen a cast this universally phenomenal, so narrowing it down to 10 actually proved to be a challenge. The order of that top trio was also nearly impossible.
1) Kyle MacLachlan 2) Naomi Watts 3) Laura Dern 4) David Lynch 5) Grace Zabriskie 6) Amanda Seyfried 7) Robert Forster 8) Eamon Farren 9) Sheryl Lee 10) Michael Cera
Most honourable mentions: Harry Dean Stanton, Miguel Ferrer, Jennifer Jason Leigh & Tim Roth

1. Kyle MacLachlan. Any other answer is wrong. 2. Naomi Watts. 3. David Lynch. 4. Matthew Lillard. 5. Miguel Ferrer. 6. Grace Zabriskie. 7. Jim Belushi & Robert Knepper. Sorry, they're tied. 8. Laura Dern. 9. Robert Forster. 10. Sheryl Lee. HM: Don Murray, Harry Dean Stanton, Tom Sizemore.
But real talk, the Polish Accountant is in a class on his own. Same with Abraham Lincoln Woodsman.
EDIT: Fuck, forgot about Catherine E. Coulson. Slide her into the #3 spot.

All I know is Michael Cera is number 1. He is the mysterious billionaire owner of the black box and will be co-lead in season 4.

Ugh, this is hard...
1. Kyle MacLachlan (who else?) as Dougie / Bad Coop / FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper 2. Laura Dern as Diane 3. Jake Wardle as Freddie Sykes 4. Catherine Coulson as Margaret, the Log Lady 5. Eamon Farren as Richard Horne 6. Matthew Lillard as William Hastings 7. George Griffith as Ray Monroe 8. Cornelia Guest as Phyllis Hastings 9. Naomi Watts as Janey-E 10. David Lynch as Gordon Cole
Great performances overall.

Holy shit. I guess I'll be the one to break the McLachlan streak:
01. Dana Ashbrook. 02. Matthew Lillard. 03. Kyle MacLachlan. 04. Naomi Watts. 05. David Lynch. 06. Harry Dean Stanton. 07. Jim Belushi & Robert Knepper. 08. Sheryl Lee. 09. Miguel Ferrer. 10. Grace Zabriskie.
HM: Michael Horse; Richard Beymer; Robert Forster; Catherine Coulson.
Yeah, I honestly didn't understand why everyone was throwing around "all-time great" for MacLachlan before those last three episodes when Cooper returned. He was adorable, but incredibly one-dimensional as Dougie (not his fault, of course, but I wouldn't say it was a particularly difficult feat acting-wise). If anything, as the Evil Doppelganger, he was fantastic, but after a while it became as repetitive as Dougie for me. But those last three episodes proved why his original Dale Cooper was one of my top 3 all-time leading performances in television. He was able to play him in an entirely new way, perfectly making this believable transition into a hardened, obsessive, world-worn Cooper that dominated those final three episodes. For that, he managed to work his way up to the top 3. Perhaps a re-watch in time will help me to see what you all see...
But for now, Ashbrook and Lillard are the biggest surprises for me. It could help that I have never liked their acting before (I think when I used to give rankings of cast lists back in the day when I watched the original series, Ashbrook constantly made the bottom 3 as Bobby Briggs). But Ashbrook performed a complete 180 and offered the most wholesome performance on the show for me. His screen time was severely limited, but literally every frame with him in it oozed with emotion that added a warmth to the show that was desperately needed. He hit every note perfectly and I knew I was going to witness something special with him when he randomly made me teary-eyed the very first time we were introduced to him again, looking at the photo of Laura at the police station.
As for Lillard, he would probably be the actual MVP of the show if it weren't for the obviously very limited screen time. Every single scene he was in, he blew everyone else away. I never thought, of all the actors, he would be perfectly suited for Lynch's style than the rest. But he nailed it. Never knew he had it in him.
As for the rest, Watts isn't all-time great, but she played a pretty nothing role with a lot of kick-ass fury to it; Lynch & Ferrer both reminded me why they were my two favorite guest stars in the original series, but offering a much more profound depth to them than I expected, especially the former; Stanton was another bright spot that had very little on paper but made up for it in evoking a lot of that same world-worn emotion; Belushi & Knepper get a double-bill for being two of the most consistently funny supporting characters whose comic chemistry is as strong as the likes of Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello.
I honestly want to give Sheryl Lee my #1 spot simply for the finale alone. It could help that her performance in Fire Walk with Me is one of my top 10 all-time performances in Lead Actress, but she both reinvented and invented a character from scratch and showed she still had the same chops as she always had. Her final moments were some of the most well-acted in the entire series, especially for how convincing and haunting she made all the absurdity feel.
So yeah. The only ones I really hated were Kimmy Robertson & Harry Goaz (Lucy & Andy). It just seemed like they forgot completely how to act since 25 years ago (not that they were superstars then either, but at least they fit well within the show and added comic relief). It's pretty bad when James Marshall, of all people, out-acts you. In fact, I had no complaints with him at all this season. I also really disliked Sherilyn Fenn, but I mostly blame her writing.
The one I don't get is Laura Dern. Everyone making a huge fuss over a pretty one-note performance. I mean, at least she impressed a bit in the finale, and her breakdown outside of the prison after seeing Evil Cooper. But even then, it wasn't enough to make me go "wow, all-time great" like everyone else has been saying.
Again... Who knows. I'll most likely be re-watching it in the future after I let my brain settle for a bit and maybe I'll finally see what you all see. I'd sure like to. Great ensemble overall, though. Nothing all-time worthy like the original series (MacLachlan, Wise, and Fenn all are in my top 5 in their respective categories. Wise is even my win for Drama series), but they all worked really well for the show. The MVP was Lynch the Director and that is all that matters.

So happy for the Catherine E. Coulson mentions. Her last phone call to Hawk might be the most heartbreaking and moving moment of the entire season. The Log Lady is one of the best tv characters ever!
RIP Miss Coulson, and thank you for everything.
