Character
Benjamin Horne
Benjamin Horne in Twin Peaks (1990), played by Richard Beymer.
Ben Horne owns most of Twin Peaks — the Great Northern Hotel, half the town's business dealings, and a Norwegian investment deal he badly needs to close. He's a smiling civic pillar with a mistress, a shady casino upstairs, and daughters he loves in ways more complicated than he'd admit.
Richard Beymer plays Ben with a silky, unhurried menace that never tips into cartoon villainy — you can watch him charm a room and calculate a betrayal in the same breath. The show keeps peeling back layers of hypocrisy and genuine feeling underneath the polish, and Beymer makes both halves believable.
Benjamin Joseph "Ben" Horne was an unscrupulous businessman and the owner of several businesses around Twin Peaks, Washington, including Horne's Department Store, One Eyed Jacks, and the Great Northern Hotel.
