ALF (character)

Gordon Shumway, also known as ALF (acronym for "Alien Life Form"), is the protagonist and title character of the American television series ALF and its animated spin-offs, ALF: The Animated Series, and ALF Tales. ALF also starred in the poorly received television film Project ALF, and hosted the short lived talk show ALF's Hit Talk Show. Paul Fusco created and plays ALF, and he also provides the voice for the character. On ALF, Lisa Buckley and Bob Fappiano assisted Fusco with performing the furry brown alien. During the first season of ALF, Michu Meszaros occasionally wore a full costume when full body shots were needed of the character. Since ALF, the character has appeared in various other media, including television series, comic books, and video games.
