Michael Fielding (born 1981) is an English comedian and actor.
[edit] The Mighty Boosh
Michael is best known for playing Naboo, the shaman on The Mighty Boosh, co-written by and co-starring his older brother, Noel Fielding. He became part of The Mighty Boosh when he tagged along with Noel to a show in Australia. Michael's non-acting non-style gives the television series a distinctive feel of cynical indolence and many members of his family consider him to be a driving force behind the success of the show[citation needed]. Noel said on an interview with Jonathan Ross that the abstract name of the show came from one of Michael's afro-style haircuts, which his Portuguese friend to used to refer to as 'a mighty boosh (bush)'.
[edit] Trivia
- He appears in the video for "Rockall" by The Young Punx. [1]
- Whilst mocking Apple Inc.'s Get a Mac advertising campaign at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 by referring to Noel Fielding as "PC" and himself as "Mac", Julian Barratt referred to Mike as "ZX Spectrum".
