Jerry Horne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremy "Jerry" Horne (played by David Patrick Kelly) is the playboy brother of Ben Horne in the series Twin 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 publically demonstrates all of the negative traits his brother keeps hidden beneath a verneer of sophictication 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 the buzz cut and hi-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 associatie, as Ben was otherwise surrounded by low-level thugs such as Leo Johnson and Hank 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.
