Prolific American television actor who played Ralph Offenhouse, the impatient twentieth-century financier revived aboard the Enterprise-D, in the Next Generation episode The Neutral Zone.
Peter Mark Richman (1927 to 2021) was an American actor with hundreds of television credits, among them the lead in Cain's Hundred, a recurring role as Andrew Laird in Dynasty and a part in Three's Company. He was also a playwright and painter.
In the first-season Next Generation finale The Neutral Zone he plays Ralph Offenhouse, a wealthy businessman frozen at death in the twentieth century. Once revived he demands newspapers and contact with his bankers, and has to be told by Picard that the accumulation of wealth no longer drives humanity.
Offenhouse nonetheless reads the Romulans shrewdly during the confrontation on the bridge.
