Harry S. Truman (Twin Peaks)
FBI Agent Dale Cooper arrives in Twin Peaks to lead the investigation, forming a close friendship with Sheriff Truman as they work together to solve most of the show’s mysteries.[14] Truman and Cooper spend the remainder of the second season hunting down Windom Earle, who kidnaps the winner of the Miss Twin Peaks contest, Annie Blackburn.[17] The book gives confirmation on his birth date, and places him as the 10th player in the Twin Peaks High School football team in 1968, saying he had the "best completion record in the Tri-Country Area for two straight seasons."In 1990, during the height of Twin Peaks' popularity, there was a Saturday Night Live sketch parodying the show with Kevin Nealon portraying Sheriff Truman.Alex Bledsoe of Reactor calls Sheriff Truman "diligent, intelligent and above all patient with his fellow lawmen, and incorruptibly courageous with the villains.He was dependable, open-minded, possessed of a certain Springsteen-esque sexiness, and exhibiting none of the provincialism or authoritarianism we'd come to expect from small-town cops on TV; Truman also punctured the idea that Lynch and Frost were simply taking too-easy swipes at Main Street USA.
