Benji Gregory/Facebook
I bet when you read the headline, you were like who is Benji Gregory? He played ALF’s best friend Brian Tanner on the ’80s sitcom. And, like many child stars, his career didn’t follow him through adulthood.
Even though he is no longer acting, he still has a lot of fans, and they would like him to autograph the photos they have of him. And he has a message for them.
“Of course, I say this with peace and love; but to any and all fans throughout this beautiful globe,” he wrote. “Please stop sending me pictures looking for autographs. As of Feb 15 2023, all fan mail will be escorted to nearby landfill. 👇”
I have several friends who are former child stars. If any of them treated their fans like that, then they wouldn’t be my friend anymore.
For example, Randolph Mantooth is 77, and he welcomes people sending him fan mail. He starred in Emergency in the ’70s and did some Soap Opera work, so he gets lots of snail mail. How much could Gregory get that he turned into such an asshole about it?
