The actor is currently touring Australia with cast members of the show appearing in a series of stage shows to discuss the cult series.

Strobel began to fell ill in the early hours of the morning and was taken to a Melbourne hospital where a blood clot was removed and a stent inserted. Representatives for the tour said is doing well and looks forward to getting back to meeting as many Twin Peaks fans again as soon as possible.

“Mr Strobel requests no flowers, but fans can leave messages of support and love on Al’s Facebook Page” a spokesperson said.
