Mihaly "Michu" Meszaros (Hungarian: Mészáros Mihály; born September 20, 1939 in Budapest) is a Hungarian performer best remembered as the man behind the costume in the NBC sitcom ''ALF''. He is tall. Meszaros appeared in numerous television and film projects. His last appearance was in 1993's ''Warlock: The Armageddon''. For the first few seasons of ALF, Meszaros donned a full-body costume of the character whenever a full-body shot of the alien was needed. Meszaros was used where scenes of ALF walking, running, or standing were required. Most shots were half-body shots of ALF's upper body, since the ALF costume was extremely hot and uncomfortable for the actor to wear under the bright studio lights and during long stretches. The ALF puppet and costume can be distinguished on first view because the head proportions are slightly different. == More about Michu == In the 1980s the city of Hawthorne, California named their shortest street in the City "Michu Lane". Michu also was a member of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus as the former "smallest man in the world". While with Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus as a featured performer, Michu trained and presented a dog act with white Standard Poodles who, when on their hind-legs, were much taller than their diminutive though commanding trainer. This made for a wonderful display, which was much-loved by audiences nationwide. The grand Spectacle number or "spec" as it is known to the performing artists, featured the Smallest Man in the World in a dignified though slightly comedic role. Michu portrayed the "Marshal of Marshmallow Gulch" in the Spectacle number in 1982/1983, resplendent in a well-tailored white/silver/gold costume encrusted all over with rhinestones and complete with matching cowboy hat, and silver boots. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michu Meszaros」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
