IMPORTANT: Questions for Ben Hertzberg

Post by Admin »

Hi everybody. Recently (well, today) I was able to get in contact with Ben Hertzberg (a.k.a. Benji Gregory), who played Brian Tanner on the ALF sitcom.

He said he might be willing to answer a few questions. Anyone have any ideas as far as questions? I have a few myself, but they are still on the drawing board.

Unfortunately, I will not say how I got in contact with him (as a respect to his privacy).

Thanks, and please post any possible questions in this thread, and I will forward them to him sometime soon.

Thats awesome! I wonder if he still keeps in touch with the rest of the Alf Cast...

I also want to know by being a part of the show, has he gotten any cool rare Alf merchandise that most fans dont have?
...Because I want some!

So far...

1) Do you keep in contact with any of the other cast members from the show?

2) Did you receive any ALF merchandise when starring on the show?

3) What is your current occupation? Are you married? Do you have children? (a little personal, but if he is comfortable divulging that information it would be neat to know exactly what he is up to)

4) Who will you be voting for in the next US Presidential Election? LOL - just joking on this one!!! HA!!!

Admin,

If willing to provide information, monetary questions of interest:

Approximation of total monies earned during four seasons of the ALF TV series?

Does he, or did he, receive any residuals for syndicated airings of the ALF TV series?

Please do so Jeremiah, tell him postage and return envelope would be provided, as well as something for him to sign. If he is keen on giving out his address, it could go through you.

Well, I don't have an autograph from an obsessive fan, so why not! PM me the address, will you? ;)

Would love an autograph too, well done Jermemiah

I would like to ask a) why he decided to leave acting and b) when he did ALF Loves A Mystery, did it mean anything at the time appearing as Benji rather than Brian?

Thanks for the questions everybody. I will type them up and send them to him. Most likely Monday, I'll let you know when I haev done it. Regarding the autographs, I will let him know of the interest and see if he would be willing. To be completely honest (after some thought), I really don't think he would, as I don't think he has an "agent" at the moment. That would mean giving out his private home address...if I were him I probably would not be willing to that.

Sounds great Jermiah - according to Wikia he's just got out of the navy or something. Any chance of you acting as a go-between on the address thing.

Unfortunately, no. It appears that he has "fallen off the face of the Earth." He must be busy. First Paul Fusco, now Ben Hertzberg...I have a habit of losing people??? :lol:

Well that's a shame, will you keep trying to reach him? Maybe it just slipped his mind?
