Richard Vernon is the tough frustrated school teacher, played by Paul Gleason. He thinks that all kids are arrogant, and constantly wonders why he bothers teaching. His battle to show up John Bender is one the main backround themes of the story. A supurb performance makes him a very believable character.

I have only even seen him in Die Hard and Trading Places, but he has done a lot of work before and since.

Check out his IMDB profile.
