Harry S. Truman


Sheriff Harry S. Truman is a fictional character on the 1990-1991 primetime ABC series Twin Peaks, played by actor Michael Ontkean. He assists Special Agent Dale Cooper in the investigation of the murder of Laura Palmer. Series creator David Lynch has stated that the character was not named for American president Harry S. Truman, but rather for Washington state resident Harry Truman who died in the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Yet the fictional Harry's middle initial is 'S' (as demonstrated in dialogue and by the sign on his office door visible in several episodes) whereas the volcano victim Truman's middle initial was 'R'.

Harry is in love with fragile Josie Packard, and he is one of the Bookhouse Boys.

Harry gets on well with Cooper. They hit it off almost from the start. Harry is very down-to-earth in contrast with Cooper's unconventional methods of policing, fascination with Tibet, dreams, etc. Harry regards Cooper as somewhat eccentric but well-meaning. In early episodes, Harry serves to introduce Cooper (and hence the viewer) to the more prominent residents of Twin Peaks. Harry begins to feel that he is the Dr Watson to Cooper's Sherlock Holmes. Despite their differences, Truman represents a literary alternate to Cooper: they approach the same goal through different means.

As the case progress, Harry's respect for Cooper grows. He regards Coop as "the finest lawman he has ever known".
