The joke is on him. He is best remembered for his role on ALF. Looks like he did absolutely nothing notable in his final 25 years

Well he was more of a character actor having steady gigs in various TV and movies.

You know I never watched Alf and I this co-star I guess can choose to hate whatever work he has been involved in, but I can tell you all one thing though I bet he cashed every single check that came from this show Alf. I bet he loved that part of it. Actors like steady work and from the header this show was on the air for 4 seasons.

ALF as a show probably doesn't hold up very well because ALF was surrounded by a bland and boring supporting cast. I don't know if that was intentionally by design, but it appears that little if any effort was made to write jokes for them.

In fact, the actors themselves such as Max Wright, complained that ALF always got all of the punchlines and was the only one who was allowed to be funny while the Tanners and other human characters were merely the straight-people.

And most of the humor in itself seemed to just that ALF an alien, so you don’t need an actual character. All really ALF is as a character when you get right down to it, is a wisecracking louse, who just so happens to be an extraterrestrial. You can't really live and die on that alone if you want your sitcom to have a strong shelf-live.
