      It probably isn't him, the age gap isn't big enough. In this episode, Jeremy is in his late 20s. So Richard would have been graduating from high school with very white teeth at this time driving a Dolly Sprint with alloy wheels.

Says he was incredibly rude and dismissive of the staff, and chucked the car keys over the counter without even acknowledging them afterwards.
