Early life


Horse was born Michael James Heinrich near Tucson, Arizona, on December 21, 1949. At age 10, Horse moved to Los Angeles.[3] His mother, Nancie Belle Posten, was Swedish.[4][5] Horse's adoptive father, George Heinrich, was born in Florida to parents from Austria.[6] Nancie died in California in 2004.[7]


Career


Horse's film debut came in the role of Tonto in the 1981 movie, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, which was a commercial failure. Before taking the role, Horse had been concerned that the character might be perceived as a stereotype.[8]

After appearing in David Lynch's short film The Cowboy and the Frenchman (1988), Horse portrayed Deputy Hawk, a Native American policeman, in Lynch's TV series Twin Peaks (1990–91).[9] He also acted in Passenger 57 (1992),[10] House of Cards (1993), the 1990s version of the television series The Untouchables (1993),[11] and North of 60 (1995–97). He also appeared in the Thanks episode "Thanksgiving" in 1999, portraying Squanto. He appeared as Deputy Owen Blackwood in four episodes of the first season of Roswell (1999). Horse also appeared as Sheriff Tskany in The X-Files episode "Shapes" in 1994.

Horse portrayed American Indian Movement (AIM) activist Dennis Banks in the 1994 TNT movie Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee. Eight years later, he lent his voice to "Little Creek's friend" in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. He portrayed Mike Proudfoot on Sons of Tucson. In 1995 he portrayed Dirty Bob in the Western movie Riders in the Storm.[citation needed] He played the character Jindoga in Hawkeye. In 2017, Horse reprised his role as Deputy Hawk in the third season of TV series Twin Peaks.

He also portrayed Twamie Ullulaq in the seventh season of The Blacklist in 2020.


Personal life


Horse has at times described himself as Yaqui,[12] and at other times as "of Yaqui descent",[13] or "of Yaqui, Mescalero Apache, Zuni Pueblo and Hispanic" descent",[14] but is not enrolled or recognized by any tribe. On November 23, 1993, Horse married Sandra Dee Dombrowski in Nevada. An actress, Dombrowski appeared in episodes of Batman Beyond, The Zeta Project, and Days of Our Lives.[1] As of 2019, on his personal website, Pennie Opal Plant listed herself as his partner.[2]
