"Back to work defining a fictional character, thankfully after spending time with those that define me. Life Feeds Art. #Longmire", he wrote.

Which Character Will Ruby Set In Line During 'Longmire' Season 4?

 

The actor had spent time with his family that weekend. The new tweet was favorited by over 100 people and received several messages in reply.

"Sincerely hope Henry is defining art from behind the bar of HIS Red Pony!!" one follower wrote.

"It takes a special person to bring a fictional character to life. Well done Lou," another wrote.

A third wrote, "All the scenes with Henry in them are interesting!"

Phillips has been with Longmire since the beginning. The show was cancelled after three seasons on A&E despite being the highest rated scripted show on the network. After the show's diehard fans launched a Twitter campaign, Netflix swooped in a few months later and picked it up.

Netflix renewed the show for a 10-episode fourth season, which is currently nearing the end of production in New Mexico.

Longmire season 4 is being released in the fall on Netflix, though the streaming site has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
