- Jerry Horne
Jeremy "Jerry" Horne (played by
David Patrick Kelly ) is the playboy brother ofBen Horne in the seriesTwin Peaks . He is his brother's right-hand-man and emissary, travelling around the world to act in Ben's place for his various international business dealings. Although he and Ben share similar interests and personas—womanizing, cut-throat businessmen—Jerry publicly demonstrates all of the negative traits his brother keeps hidden beneath a veneer of sophistication and class. The brother's contrasting public personas are reflected in their attire: While Ben wears tailored, neutral-colored business suits, Jerry dresses in a variety of bizarre, multi-colored outfits seemingly culled together from his visits to different countries around the world and has his head shaved into a strange hairdo that incorporates both thebuzz cut andhi-top fade .Jerry is a supporting character on the series, who never received his own plotline; he primarily served to give Ben an intellectually equal associate, as Ben was otherwise surrounded by low-level thugs such as
Leo Johnson andHank Jennings ; although not nearly as intelligent as his brother, Jerry nonetheless demonstrated world-awareness beyond that of most of the town's population.He is uncle of Audrey and
Johnny Horne .
