Michu Meszaros, who portrayed ALF in the same-named '80s sitcom, has died.
Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that the actor was taken to a Los Angeles hospital last week after his longtime manager, Dennis Varga, discovered him unresponsive in his bathroom.
The 2-ft., 9-in. Hungarian-born performer was hired by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus early in his career before he landed roles in multiple films and ALF. During that time, Meszaros wore the fuzzy brown costume when ever they needed action shots of the puppet even though the iconic character was created and voiced by puppeteer Paul Fusco.
