Despite becoming his best-known performance, the actor despised the role due to its huge technical demands and the fact that he, a human, played a supporting character for an "inanimate object". "It was hard work and very grim", he stated in a 2000 interview to <i><a href="/facts/People_(magazine)/oMofkIN9">People</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> He was also, reportedly, very happy when the show was canceled in 1990. "I was hugely eager to have it over with", he said in the same interview. According to his co-star in the show, <a href="/facts/Anne_Schedeen/yo6CKba5">Anne Schedeen</a>, "there was one take, and Max walked off the set, went to his dressing room, got his bags, went to his car, and disappeared. Nobody had to say, 'Wrap,' and there were no goodbyes". However, Wright later admitted that as the years passed he looked back at <i>ALF</i> with less animosity and conceded that "It doesn't matter what I felt or what the days were like, <i>ALF</i> brought people a lot of joy."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> </p> <h3>Stage</h3> <p>Wright also had a stage career.
