Let’s face it; ALF wasn’t a good TV show. Even now, YouTube is streaming the entire show for free, and I can even bother sitting through one episode. Even through rose-colored glasses, the show is bad and unfunny. However, I just learned that the youngest star from that show passed away recently. And, it is even crazier to discover that he was only a few years younger than me. Benji Gregory died from a heat stroke inside his car alongside his service dog.
After ALF ended, Benji worked in Hollywood for only three more years and stopped acting. I don’t blame him. Acting can be damaging. He joined the Navy and served as an Aerographer's mate on a ship. I had to look it up. It is a job where you observe and study conditions at sea, both under and above the boat. Since I am a fool, I could not have done it. I take it his health was failing and he left the military.
I didn’t think the youngest one from that show would die so soon.
