Just a few leftovers to finish out the day here. First up, back in January, we mentioned the hope that Michael Parks would break out his Twin Peaks “Jean Renault” character accent for “Hit Somebody” ,
and a recent tweet from Kevin confimed just that:

Via @bdkreviews “please tell me that Parks is returning for Hit Somebody” He’ll play a French Canadian as Buddy’s first professional coach.

Via @SpockBUCKTON “French Canadian, eh? Please tell me Parks brings back his Jean Renault accent!” That’s WHY he’s playing a FrenchCanadian.
