David Lynch is teasing his return to “Twin Peaks” with the following teaser that shows the director returning to his acting role in the series as Gordon Cole. Yes, the footage is of Lynch snacking on a donut and that’s it. Love it!
Gordon Cole was a Regional Bureau Chief, and later Deputy Director, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Agent Cooper’s immediate superior, in a career that spanned more than four decades, explains the “Twin Peaks” wiki.
Interestingly, “The Secret History of Twin Peaks”, the third “Twin Peaks” novel (released on October 18, 2016), has information on where Cole is in 2016.
By 2016, Cole had been promoted to Deputy Director. On July 17, a ledger was recovered from an active crime scene, containing a lengthy dossier on the history of Twin Peaks and unusual phenomena in the region, compiled by an unknown individual. On August 4, Cole tasked Agent “TP” of the bureau’s Investigations and Operations Support Section with reviewing the dossier and determining the identity of its author.
