  Clifton James played Sheriff J.W Pepper in LALD. He also played the same charector in TMWTGG. I think this was the only two movies Clifton appeared in.

  Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

  Remember the police chief who leads the chase against Bond and Tiffany in Las Vagas in DAF? I was watching LALD and the oficer in charge of the bridge "roadblock" during the speedboat chase looks very similar - could it be the same actor who played both??

  
  Yes, it's the same guy! (Not Clifton James)

  Yes, the guy is named Leeroy Hollis. He was an American stunt driver and received these parts as a part of his excellent job.

  They should have got Sheriff Pepper for AVTAK!

  I apoligize. I thought the original poster meant the actor playing J.W. Pepper. I guess I should watch LALD again.

  James also played a redneck policeman in Silver Streak (also featuring Richard Kiel as a steel-toothed villain!) and even one on The Dukes of Hazard!
  
  Some actors just own their roles...
