Gregory played Brian, the son of the Tanner family, for over 100 episodes of Alfaired from 1986 to 1990. The sitcom chronicled the zany adventures of Gordon Shumway, nicknamed Alf (“Alien Life Form”), a hairy alien from the planet Melmac who crash-lands his spaceship in the Tanners’ garage. Throughout the series, the family takes Alf in and hides him in their suburban home to keep him away from the government’s Alien Task Force and nosy neighbors in California’s San Fernando Valley.
In addition to Gregory’s character, the family included social worker Willie (Max Wright), his wife Kate (Anne Schedeen), their daughter Lynn (Andrea Elson) and their cat Lucky, whom Alf found particularly appetizing.
