Diminutive 2'9" actor and circus performer Mihaly 'Michu'
Meszaros was born in 1939 in Budapest, Hungary. Meszaros performed for the Hungarian National Circus prior to coming to America in the 1970s. Not surprisingly, he portrayed
circus midgets in both "Big Top Pee-wee" and "Warlock: The Armageddon."
Mihaly was best known for donning the furry full body costume as the
titular rascally extraterrestrial on the hugely popular 1980s sitcom
"ALF" in scenes that featured the little creature walking, running, or
standing in complete view. He also appeared on the TV shows "H.R.
Pufnstuf" and "Dear John." He performed stunts for the hit comedy "Look
Who's Talking." In addition, Meszaros was the tiny butler Hans in the
nifty horror flick "Waxworks" and the grotesquely mutated George
Ramirez in the hilariously wacky cult favorite "Freaked." Moreover, Mihaly was a member
of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. His hobbies included drinking scotch and
smoking giant cigars. Meszaros died at age 76 after falling into a coma on June 13, 2016.
