Not many people know this, but the massive popularity of the '80s puppet sitcom ALF (https://www.reddit.com/r/Alf/) was primarily driven by the grit, determination, and unbridled commitment of one man named Paul Fusco who single-handedly ripped a media empire out of the ether with nothing but hard work and a profound belief in his own vision.
But the crazy thing is that ALF wasn’t just a puppet, or a show. Paul Fusco actually spent his entire career trying to convince the world that ALF was an actual, real-life alien that crash landed on Earth and became a movie star. And it ended up destroying him.
