Benji Gregory death: ALF child star found dead, aged 46, alongside service dog

…it’s part of today’s newsfeed, I didn’t know if that’s what sparked the thread/question, Nicky….


Benji Gregory, the child star who appeared in ALF, has died aged 46

Gregory’s body was found on 13 June, with a cause yet to be determined.

According to TMZ, the actor was found in his car in a Chase Bank car park in Peoria, Arizona alongside the body of his service dog, Hans.

The actor’s sister Rebecca, speaking to the outlet about her brother, revealed that the child star suffered from bipolar disorder, depression and a sleep disorder that sometimes caused him to remain awake for days at a time.

The outlet notes that those close to Gregory believe he might have died of heatstroke after falling asleep in his car.

Gregory appeared in all four seasons of the 1980s sitcom ALF, which is an acronym standing for “Alien Life Form”.

The series, which aired on ITV in the UK, saw the alien crash land in the garage of the Tanner family, led by Max Wright and Anne Scedeen, with Gregory playing their son Brian alongside Andrea Elson, who played his sister Lynn.

Ahead of securing the role in ALF, Gregory, whose grandmother was his agent, appeared in TV shows including Fantasy Island, TJ Hooker and The Twilight Zone.

yes little Brian :(

only became 46 yrs, gone way too soon


heatstroke is what they think what he died of

[Ray.]

No.

But I know of it through various references that have been made to it on other television shows over the years, the most immediately obvious one being The Simpsons.
