Alf is technically a part of the Marvel Universe (via the "Evolutionary Wars" comic crossover in the '80s), so maybe they could bring him back in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or something?

In fact, people who worked with him have said that his mental health was severely compromised at the time of ALF's filming, and there's a famous story which has reached mythic status in some circles, in which one day, when Wright was particularly fucked up from injecting coke, after a scene during which ALF talked down to/tricked/otherwise demeaned or humiliated Wright's character on ALF, Wright physically attacked the ALF puppet, punching and hitting it with actual, non-affected malice, to the extent that the other people on set were fearful for Wright's mental health. After that, Wright was put on a several-months-long hiatus from filming, during which, supposedly, that gay sex tape was made.

Good grief! Thank heavens he never starred on Small Wonder.

Vicki had a pre-existing restraining order against him, couldn't be on the show

How was Permanent Midnight not about Max Wright?

that's why Max's rage against Alf was so believable and grounded, he didn't actually realize he was acting

Having to do 100 shitty sitcom episodes on a tiny set with no audience would have been hard on anyone.

in All That Jazz his character is forced to watch not-Hoffman playing not-Lenny a million times and starts to go nuts. starts thinking it's actually getting better. sounds like a similar situation.
