That is a shame if he has indeed passed, and he absolutely added a lot to the cast, and show.
Watching it now, I often see his, and Raquel`s names in the cast list for each episode, yet neither of them appeared.
I assume these were deleted scenes, that never made the final cut, and hope they can surface one day, if they haven`t already.

Re: John LaMotta: ALF was the "worst work I ever did"
If you're watching the syndicated cuts, then there are several episodes in which some Ochmonek scenes have been cut for syndication. I know that Trevor appears in a scene in "Wild Thing" that's cut out of the syndicated version, but his name still appears in the credits.

Re: John LaMotta: ALF was the "worst work I ever did"
These are on the European DVD boxset, and there was another last night, where Trevor & Raquel split up, and Mrs Byrd
is in the cast list, but didn`t appear or speak in the episode, although she was mentioned a few times in it.
And an episode just after that, her name appeared in the credits, but she didn`t appear...but then she did write the episode !
There was also one I saw the other night where ALF hides in the car and ends up at the drive in movie, and a short clip
of the Bangle`s/Walk Like An Egyptian is playing that he`s singing along to....
Just searched using the word Egyptian, and it seems this was cut from the US DVD`s, but is there on the European version.

Interesting. Maybe they got confused when making the credits and slipped her name in there.
Also, RIP John LaMotta. I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never. Mr. O wouldn't have been the same character without him in the role.

Re: John LaMotta: ALF was the "worst work I ever did"
I can confirm that John LaMotta has passed away. I found out back in 2017, when I interviewed director Sam Firstenberg, who had directed him in several movies (Revenge of the Ninja being one of them), and they were friends. I thought I had shared the news here on the forum, as I remember it was quite a shock to me, but I seem to have forgotten that, which is just shameful. I'm sorry, guys.

Trevor & Raquel leaving this world, and being transported through time and space to New Melmac, is a sitcom waiting to happen !
