Michu played ALF whenever a full shot of the friendly alien was required
The title character of "ALF" was Gordon Shumway, a friendly extraterrestrial nicknamed ALF (an acronym for Alien Life Form), who crash landed in the garage of the suburban middle-class Tanner family
Although he did not voice the character ofALF, Michu had to work whenever a full-body shot of the alien was needed. Donning a full body-costume, Meszaros was used where scenes of ALF walking, running, or standing were required.

Shaun Livingston Posterizes Richard Jefferson | Cavaliers vs Warriors | Game 5 | June 13 | NBA Fin
Jefferson will come off the bench for Monday"s Game 5 against the Warriors, Monte Poole of CSN Bay Area reports.
After starting for the Cavaliers during an impressive Game 3 win, Jefferson remained in the starting lineup during Game 4 despite Kevin Love being available. The Cavaliers ended up taking a loss in that outing, so they"ll move Jefferson back to the bench role he"s accustomed to. Jefferson could see a slight decrease in minutes now that he"s returned to a bench role, although he should still provide quality court time after seeing plenty of action during the last two games.

There have been lingering doubts about the Italy side coming into this competition and a spate of hugely debilitating injuries has left Contes plans in a mini-crisis.
One of the main strengths of this generation of Azzurri stars has been their technical ability in midfield, with Andrea Pirlo, Marco Verratti and Claudio Marchisio forming an exciting triumvirate at the nexus of the side. However, the manager will not be able to call upon any of this trio, with the former winding his career down in the United States and the latter duo sidelined with injuries.
It means casual observers of Italy will be able to cast eyes over a few unfamiliar faces, with Conte calling up seven uncapped players for the tournaments training squad. Subsequently, Italy, usually so reliable in these championships, look like something of an unknown quality.
A quarter-final elimination to Argentina at the 2014 World Cup was about par for Belgium in the eyes of many, as the nations golden crop of talent battled their way to the last eight. However, Wilmots men underwhelmed in their performances.
For all the attacking talent on display, Belgium lacked an incisive presence in the final third of the field and creativity in the middle of the park. Thats a balance the manager has been seeking to strike since and having scaled the summit of the FIFA world rankings during the qualification process, itd be tough to say they havent.
Yet as odd as it may be to say, despite this ascension and the embarrassment of riches available to Wilmots in terms of individual quality, there are still signs this is a side not reaching its potential. The Red Devils still havent quite found a way of bringing the best out of Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku in the same setup.

With E3 just around the corner, the rumor mill has been churning and anticipation is high over the surprises that will be announced at this years show. Heres a few things we expect, or hope, to see happen.
Halo 3 Anniversary
As per some leaked footage this week, its likely that Microsoft wont just let Gears of War 4 hog the spotlight for publisher flagships. 2016 marks the 10th anniversary of Halo 3s debut for the Xbox, so it would make sense that it would follow suit after the original and Halo 2 remakes in 2011 and 2014, respectively.
The footage itself, what appears to be a surreptitious phone recording, is poor quality (and likely to be taken down soon), showing only a title screen reading the name of the game with some ships flying by, but given the fact that Halo gives Microsoft a license to print money, it also doesnt seem too far-fetched. But will it show up on The Master Chief Collection?
More Star Wars From EA
DICE has announced more Battlefront is coming, but with Episode VII now out of the way, it feels like the time is right to get things moving in full-swing. It may not be time yet to see Amy Hennigs highly anticipated adventure coming from Visceral Games, which could be either a retooling of defunct Star Wars 1313 or something entirely new, which is tentatively set for a 2018 release.
Whats more likely at the very least is more Battlefront DLC and well as Battlefront VR, which was announced at Sony event at GDC last year. EAs CFO Blake made it clear the company had plans to release one new Star Wars game a year for the next four years, so perhaps a look at the Battlefront sequel, or possibly Respawns recently announced action game, are in the cards.
Resident Evil and possibly more Capcom horror
Resident Evil 7 will almost undoubtedly make some form of debut during the show for the series 20th anniversary. Capcom has reportedly taken into account the negative feedback over the ludicrous direction of Resident Evil 6 and, if rumors are to be believed, is taking the horror series back to its roots, though how that translates in a modern game remains to be seen. Given the series history with PlayStation, Sonys press conference might be right venue for an introduction.
If were lucky, well also get to see the first look at the developers remake of Resident Evil 2, which was officially announced last year. The studio has said the game is making steady progress, but much like Resident Evil 7, its anyones guess if a remade RE2 will go the route of the recent Gamecube remasters or be a more contemporary, post-RE4 recreation.
Finally, Capcom is listed as a confirmed developer on PSVR, and last years Kitchen tech demo is proof theyre at least experimenting with concepts. A virtual reality title that takes advantage of the Resident Evil teams strengths would be a great surprise for Sonys headset. In any case, Resis 20th isnt going to pass uncelebrated.
A huge VR push from Sony (and nothing for Vita)
With the PS4 Neo allegedly looming quite large on the horizon, PSVR is likely to make up a significant part of Sonys press conference. The new systems upgraded specs are thought to be integral to making VR really shine on Sonys hardware, and with the launch of the headset in October, there will no doubt be a lot of new games particularly indie leaning to get fans excited. The Vita meanwhile will continue to be left in the dust.
Beyond Good & Evil 2
Chalk this one up to wishful thinking, although Michel Ancel has confirmed the game is still alive as recent as January and Ubisoft registered a new trademark in April. If Assassins Creed is really skipping E3, this would be the best possible replacement.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
Speaking of Assassins Creed, the new game from series creator Patrice Desilets, who has since left Ubisoft and formed his own independent studio, has been missing since last April. Though the brazen ambition of the game raises the question of whether or not it will even be ready this console generation, this year could be the right time to properly introduce audiences. Well see.
Nintendo dances around or outright ignores NX
Nintendo recently announced a change of plans for their E3 schedule, expanding it beyond just playable Wii U Zelda to include Pokmon, Dragon Quest VII (whose localization announcement was incredibly easy to miss) and a handful of others. Its possible that a few surprises might be up Big Ns sleeve, like some unannounced game heading to both the Wii U and NX (Animal Crossing, maybe?), but nothing specific about the companys new hardware.
No Kojima
Sorry, Ludens. It just hasnt been long enough for a proper game reveal. My moneys on next year.

2010 College World Series Final-Carolina vs UCLA Game 2, 9th inning
After winning a pair of afternoon games to get to Omaha, the Hurricanes will get primetime treatment when they open play in the College World Series later this week.
A day after Miami clinched its second straight berth in Omaha with a 9-4 win over Boston College, the Hurricanes learned they are set to take the field at TD Ameritrade Park against Arizona on Saturday night with first pitch scheduled for 8 p.m.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
Miami, which is making its 25th appearance in the College World Series, is the highest-seeded team on its side of the bracket which, along with Arizona, includes Oklahoma State and UC Santa Barbara.
The loser"s of Saturday"s two games will play Monday at 2 p.m., while the winners will face off against each other Monday at 7 p.m.
The Hurricanes, the national No. 3 seed, clinched a 50-win season Sunday with their emotionally-charged victory over Boston College.
Third baseman Edgar Michelangeli had a pair of home runs in the win, including a seventh-inning grand slam that resulted in much celebration and a near benches-clearing brawl when some Boston College players took offense to Michelangeli"s bat flip toward the Miami dugout and his trot around the bases.
Ultimately, though, no punches were thrown, no players were ejected and the Hurricanes went on to secure the win and a return trip to Omaha.
"I"m looking forward to going to Omaha," Hurricanes coach Jim Morris said after Sunday"s win. "For the rookies, you tell them what it"s like but when you walk through those doors and on the field, it"s an unbelievable feeling. I"m excited about that for them and the team."
Staff writer Shandel Richardson contributed to this report.
