Michu Meszaros — the guy who played ALF in the ’80s — is fighting for his life after slipping into a coma … TMZ has learned.
Michu’s manager, Dennis Varga, tells us the 2’9″ actor had been dealing with health issues after suffering a stroke 8 years ago.
Dennis says late last week he called 911 after finding 76-year-old Michu unresponsive in the bathroom.
Michu was taken to an L.A. area hospital where he remains in a coma … and the prognosis is bad.
Dennis says Michu gave him strict instructions not to take him off life support.
Michu got his start at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus before landing the role of ALF the alien. ALF was a puppet but Michu wore the costume when they needed walking/running shots.
Michu also did a cameo in “Big Top Pee-wee” … and 2 Pepsi commercials with Michael Jackson.
