Trevor Ochmonek

Trevor Ochmonek (played by John LaMotta) is a neighbor to the Tanner family and a recurring character on the ALF TV series. Trevor is married to Raquel Ochmonek and is an uncle of Jake Ochmonek. Trevor is known for his poor taste of humor, thick New York City accent (he left New York because of the crime), loud mouth, frugality, constant bickering with his wife Raquel, and dropping in uninvited at the Tanners house. Mr. Ochmonek sometimes would come at odd times of the day, such as early in the morning or late at night. Due to these unannounced visits from Trevor and Raquel, and the Ochmoneks's overall lack of respect for privacy toward the Tanners, keeping ALF hidden from them was a recurring obstacle and gag on the show.

Biography[]

Trevor was also a high school football quarterback for seven years. Once Trevor's glass eye was accidentally broken- it is uncertain whether Trevor is actually missing an eye, but it is known that he was injured during the Korean conflict. It is also known that Trevor once pursued a master's degree in art history, but it is unknown whether he completed the degree or not.

Trevor Ochmonek heard Raquel talking about seeing a strange creature (ALF) at the window, but Trevor didn't believe her. The man always came in to eat ALF's unfinished meal after coming in to the Tanners' house. In "Lookin' Through the Windows," he rudely took away all the corn and the plate holding it from the dinner table to his house. In "Strangers in the Night," he came in and took away ALF's pizza. In "Moving Out," he ate Willie's cream cheese Danish. In "Breaking Up is Hard to Do," he ate some of ALF's plate of ham and eggs. The Tanners had the right to sue him but never even confronted him. This could have been because they wanted the Ochmoneks to leave immediately fearing they might see ALF or that the Tanners didn't have much ability to confront people.

Etymology[]

The name Trevor comes from a Welsh surname meaning "big village." Trevor comes from the Middle Welsh words tref (village) and maur (large). Despite Trevor's Welsh given name, his last name is apparently a misspelling of Ochmanek, likely of Polish origin.
