Michu Meszaros
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mihaly "Michu" Meszaros is a Hungarian performer best remembered as the man behind the costume in the NBC sitcom ALF.
A native of Budapest, the three-foot 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 lower body, since the ALF costume was extremely hot and uncomfortable for the actor to wear under the bright studio lights and during long stretches.
