No! One of my favorite actors. He also appeared in the first season of Friends as Rachel's boss at Central Perk, before they replaced him with Gunther. RIP to one of the greatest TV actors ever.

I thought he had already passed. I remember pictures of him came out online a few years ago and he looked in pretty rough condition.
Outside of ALF though, he was just one of those actors who showed up in bit, one-off parts all over the place in the 80's and 90's. He was a regular on Norm for awhile too.
RIP.

At least ALF won't bother him anymore.

Say what you will about the Alf tv show, but he was a good foil for Alf's antics.

I fondly remember him as Norm MacDonald's boss on The Norm Show. Their characters worked together at a human services agency, alongside Nikki Cox (playing a former prostitute). The one interaction I remember from the entire duration of the show was Max talking to Nikki, referring to prostitutes as "undesirables":
Nikki: "Y'know I used to work there [at a brothel]. Are you calling me an 'undesirable'?" Max: "Oh no, no, not you Nikki, you're very very des..." *Nikki raises her eyebrow at Max* Max: "I'm gonna go in my office now until this awkwardness between us goes away."
Probably not as funny typed out as it was with Max's uncomfortable stammering delivery. RIP Mr. Wright.

Ok, did anybody else think he was the captain on Law & Order: SVU?
It wasn't, it was Dan Florek. But still, I always thought that they looked alike.

“Willie!”
Anyone else remember those pics of him from the 90’s? All I ever think about when I see his name.

Everyone's talking ALF regarding Mr. Wright but the truly blessed remember him from The Norm Show too. RIP sir. You had a rough road, apparently, but you're finally onto smoother sailing into the beyond...

That really sucks, but I suppose his suffering is over now. I hope that he was able to put his affairs into order, that's one of the only silver linings about a protracted terminal illness, if a silver lining indeed can exist.

Loved him on 'The Norm Show.' I'll go to my grave telling the world that The Norm Show was hilarious and underrated
