The most hate-able character in the series for me.
Yep. His whole ''why aren't the coms locked if it's so important?'' --''because even school children have a sense of protocol and restraint in this future''
exactly .... an entitled billionaire from the late 20th century.
but I also enjoy reading and researching who these actors were in real life
The millionaire/billionaire character 'Ralph Offenhouse' was played by actor Peter Mark Richman (April 16, 1927 – January 14, 2021)
Before his acting career, he started off his career as a pharmacist. "My father died when I was 16 and my brother was kind of a surrogate father," recalled Richman. "He was a pharmacist and I worked in his store as a teenager. He thought I should get a real education so I ended up reluctantly going to pharmacy school. I expected to flunk out after six weeks but stuck it out, graduated, and became a licensed pharmacist in two states."
even though he played a convincingly obnoxious rich guy ... his real life was the complete opposite.
I mostly remember him as one of the evil corporate pollution CEO's from Naked Gun 2-1/2: The Smell of Fear.
A great character actor because he really caused everyone to absolutely hate his characters. Just like Louise Fletcher ... you love them because you hate them.
He probably just amalgamated some of his worst customers.
