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.
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.
The most hate-able character in the series for me.

I mostly remember him as one of the evil corporate pollution CEO’s from Naked Gun 2-1/2: The Smell of Fear.

He probably just amalgamated some of his worst customers.
