Benji Gregory, 1978 - 2024

1980s-90s child actor Benji Gregory, 46, was found dead in his car on June 13, along with his service dog, Hans. His family said they probably died of heat stroke, although no autopsy results have yet been released. Gregory was best known for his role in the unwatchable ALF, as one of the space alien’s kiddie pals. He was also seen in The A-Team, Punky Brewster, and Jumpin’ Jack Flash, among other projects. The child of an actor and grandchild of an agent, he left acting in the early 2000s and became an aerographer’s mate for the Navy. “When ALF was canceled,” he said, “it was a relief. I didn't want to do any more shows, but I don't regret any of it.
