Willie looks older

Post by Jessica »

Is it just me, or does anyone else here thinks that Willie actually looks older than he really was. Willie mentioned he was 45 in the first season (Actor Max Wright was 43 then) But I think he looks older than that. What do you think?

I don't think he looked much older than that, but after he left ALF he seemed to age really fast. I saw him on something and thought: "That's Max Wright!?!" I guess he did have some form of cancer there for awhile. I have had relatives survive cancer (I am grateful to say they are still living, but it DOES age you).

ALFsince86, I do remember reading an article that said that Max Wright had battled cancer at some point in his life after ALF had ended. I does look like though in some episodes that the cancer had started when we was stilli doing ALF. I still am able to recognize him in recent pics and articles about him. Do you remember 7 years ago that People magazine did an article on where the cast of ALF is now? I remember seeing that recent photo of him showing what he looked like at that time. Only thing that was different was that he didn't have all of his hair anymore as a result of cancer.

In ALF I think his age seems to fit, he has aged since and looks old(er) than he is nowadays. Maybe QueenofMelmac (who I think met him recently) can tell us how he looks today, IRL?

AxelFoley,

Just to set the record straight, it was mames507 (not QueenofMelmac) who posted about having met Max Wright.

I feared my memory was fooling me there for a second. Thanks for the correction.

Agahnim,

Until you are capable of supplying indisputable proof, your post slandering Max Wright will continue to be deleted.

Max Wright

I was over at website wikipedia.com and came across some info on Willie that i didn't know about maybe someone else does. But anyway he is 63 years now. It said in 2000 and 2003 he was arrested for drunk driving. I remember the one in the 2000 but not in 2k3. When I saw him he looked like he was in his late sixtys early 70's. I am goin back to New York in a few weeks again so maybeI will see him again. I just got back from Oregon and now i am going traveling again.
