A lot of people don't realize he played the President of the United States in Buckaroo Banzai. His voice was dubbed by another actor at the request of the producers. They said they couldn't understand him. Apparently Ron was riffing off of Orson Welles in Citizen Kane and it was a bit much according to them. Director W.D. Richter wanted to keep it but in the end he had to relent to the powers that be. Interesting to see him in this particular cult film.
