Benji Gregory, known for his role as a child star on the 1980s sitcom ALF, was tragically found dead on June 13 in his car at a Chase Bank parking lot in Peoria, Arizona, alongside his service dog. The cause of death has not been determined yet, but his sister revealed that he struggled with depression, bipolar disorder, and a sleep disorder. Gregory played Brian Tanner on over 100 episodes of ALF, a show that followed the antics of an alien named ALF who crash-landed in a family's garage. After leaving the entertainment industry in 2003, Gregory joined the U.S. Navy. A touching tribute from his sister suggests donations to The Actors Equity Foundation or the ASPCA in his memory. Through his work, Gregory left a lasting impact on the entertainment world and will be dearly missed.
