Did anyone else think that the guy who tried to bribe Ness resembled Slugworth from Willy Wonka?

Yeah. It's funny how they both try to tempt the respective protagonists with money.

An astute and absolutely HILARIOUS observation.
YES! He does look like Slugworth from the original Willy Wonka. :0)

But that actor did appear in Ferris Bueller as one of the boring teachers!

Also, the judge in the final scene was Clifton James, aka Sheriff JW Pepper from the first two Moore Bond films.

@clivey6 Just to clarify, Clifton James played the District Attorney, not the judge.
