"Twin Peaks" original cast member Miguel Ferrer has signed on to reprise his role as the FBI's surly forensics specialist Albert in the Showtime revival.
This casting will reunite Albert with his cheery FBI partner Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), with David Duchovny also reportedly in talks to reprise his role as trans FBI agent Denise Bryson, reported Deadline.
Albert might have to find a new punching bag, following reports that Michael Ontkean has turned down the offer to reprise his role as Sheriff Harry S Truman.
Ferrer's return is welcome good news for fans of "Twin Peaks", given a recent announcement that the series is being delayed until 2017.
While Kyle MacLachlan is the only star confirmed to return by Showtime, several newcomers have been spotted filming in recent weeks.
Amanda Seyfried, Balthazar Getty, Robert Forster, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Robert Knepper have all apparently lined up mysterious roles in "Twin Peaks".
