MICHU MESZAROS – STROKE

Michu Meszaros was only 2 feet and 9 inches tall and probably had difficulty reaching any form of roofing, but he had a hugely successful career as a circus performer. He was a member of the group Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. He was regarded as the smallest man in the world. Aside from his circus antics, Meszaros also enjoyed an expanding acting career. He starred in the sitcom ALF and made a Pepsi commercial with Michael Jackson.

He was known best for donning the furry full-body customer in the famous 1980s sitcom mentioned earlier. This performance of him was exceptional since he worked as a circus performer. Meszaros was well-trained in his circus acts with dogs. The circus industry knows him, and his talent was recognized along with his comedic roles. Sadly, he suffered a stroke in 2008 and was not able to fully recover. He developed complications from his illness until his death at the age of 76.
