Speaking with AlternativeNation.net, actor Michael Horse, best known for his portrayal of Deputy Hawk in the cult classic David Lynch-directed television drama Twin Peaks, had much to say about the show's recently confirmed 2016 Showtime revival. In the process, Horse seemingly confirmed the return of a fan favorite character, as well as teasing the return of various other characters and the introduction of some new ones.
According to Horse, “I already heard they are [getting Michael Ontkean back], that’s what I heard. But it’s going to be really interesting. They’re going to get some new characters, they’re going to get some young girls, that’s sort of the eye of these guys. But what happened to these characters 25 years later is going to be really interesting to the fans.”
Some doubted Michael Ontkean's participation due to the actor's content retirement in Hawaii, though Horse's comments seems to quell the unsureity. Horse also claimed David Lynch is courting Deputy Hawk's return: “David’s assistant called, he was trying to get a call from me in Paris to talk to me. I figured either David was going to say we’re doing it again, or sorry we’re not going to use you, he’s that sweet of a guy."
On the return of Harry Goaz as the bumbling cop Andy, Horse says, “I’m wondering if they can find Andy, I think he went back down to Texas or something. I hope they dig him out of the woodwork, because he was freaking hysterical.”
