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?
Tonight at 10p on NBC, Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) was a physicist in 2022, but in 1994 he is an emergency physician on Quantum Leap.
Song leaped into the body of Alexandra Tomkinson, a resident at a Seattle Hospital. Her, I mean his, leap starts off by delivering a baby, but that is the beginning of his nightmarish day.
That is because there is a train accident, and he has to save three lives. But what does he know about saving a life? He will have to be a quick study in order for them all to live another day.
Talking about saving lives, Song started leaping to save his fiancée’s (Caitlin Bassett) life. He doesn’t remember how Addison’s life is at risk, but Janis Calavicci (Georgina Reilly) does. Now that she is in the facility where her father, Al, worked, the Quantum Leap scientists want to know what she knows. However, she doesn’t want to tell them because she doesn’t trust them. The only person she will talk to is Addison. So what does Janis want to say to her?
I can’t tell you that, but I can tell you that the series is focusing more on the leaps than the future. And that is making me enjoy the Sci-Fi drama more. That, and they really found their groove, so the show is flowing much more smoothly.
It is not that I didn’t like QL before; I just like it a lot more now. So tune in, and leap into an exciting hour of weekly television.
Before Joseph Gordon-Levitt was an alien on Third Rock from the Sun, he talked to Cocoa Puffs’ aminated bunny. How cute was the 9-year-old in that 1991 commercial?
