In the original series, Jacques Renault, the second of the three Renault brothers, has multiple roles listed on his resumé: as well as being a bartender at The Roadhouse, he also works night shifts as a croupier at One Eyed Jack’s, a brothel and casino located across the Canadian border.

However, when his poker face is thoroughly blown out of the water, he is ambushed and arrested by local law enforcement on the charge of murdering Laura Palmer. Having been shot and wounded during his apprehension, he’s admitted to hospital, where Laura’s father Leland smothers him to death with a pillow in an act of cold-blooded revenge.

Though his original character is deceased, eagle-eyed fans might have spotted Olkewicz in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo appearance, tending to the bar as someone called Jean-Michel Renault, during the final scene of season three's premiere.

Could there be a secret fourth Renault brother? Watch this space…
