Biography
Michael Horse, an American actor who is also a painter and jeweler, is best known for playing Deputy Tommy Hawk Hill on Twin Peaks. Born in Tucson, Arizona, he got his start as Tonto in The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981), a commercial failure that he later credited with letting him build a career as a character actor instead of being stuck in one role. After David Lynch's short film The Cowboy and the Frenchman, he took the part of Deputy Hawk in Lynch's Twin Peaks from 1990 to 1991, then returned to it for the third season in 2017. His screen work also includes Passenger 57 (1992), House of Cards (1993) and the voice of Little Creek's friend in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002), plus television roles on Roswell, The X-Files, Sons of Tucson and The Blacklist.
