Mihaly "Michu" Meszaros (born September 20, in Budapest) is a Hungarian performer best remembered as the man behind the costume in the NBC sitcom ALF. He is 2 ft 9 inches (83.82 cm) tall.
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.
While Michu was a member of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus his title was the "shortest man in the world". That title is now held by Gul Mohammed at 1 foot 10.4 inches (57 cm).
