Twin Peaks: 10 Characters That Must Return For Season 3
4. Sheriff Harry Truman
In a town like Twin Peaks, where most of the characters range from eccentric to insane, you need a few normal residents to keep things grounded. Sheriff Harry Truman, who shared the same name as the 33rd President of the United States, was about as sane as sane gets in that town. Throughout the show, hes also one of the few characters who never had ulterior motives. Hes a genuinely good person, whose strange, but touching friendship with Dale Cooper is one of the shows highlights. At 68-years-old, its doubtful that Harry is still the sheriff of Twin Peaks. However, this is also the same town that voted for a senile 80-plus-year-old man for mayor. According to Michael Horse who played Deputy Hawk, Ontkean will be back to reprise his role. Lets hope thats true, as Twin Peaks would have a harder time maintaining law and order without him. Actor Michael Ontkean's last big role was in The Descendants, which sounds impressive, but he didn't get to say a single word of dialogue! Hopefully Sheriff Truman has a few things to say about the state of Twin Peaks in 2016. And let's also hope he was able to pull Josie out of the woodwork at The Great Northern.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
