[edit] Career
[edit] The Mighty Boosh
Michael is best known for playing Naboo the Enigma, the shaman on The Mighty Boosh, co-written by and co-starring his older brother, Noel Fielding. He became part of The Mighty Boosh when he accompanied Noel to a show in Australia. Michael's non-acting non-style gives the television series a distinctive feel of cynical indolence. Noel said on an interview with Jonathan Ross that the abstract name of the show came about from one of Michael's Portuguese friends who described his hair as being like a "mighty boosh", owing to Michael's curly childhood hairstyle.[1]
Most recently he could be heard doing the voice over for the sponsors of "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway", and he also starred in an episode of Foyle's War.
[edit] Personal life
Michael is distinctive for his height, as he stands at around 5'1". Whilst mocking Apple Inc.'s Get a Mac advertising campaign at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 by referring to Noel Fielding as "PC" and himself as "Mac", Julian Barratt referred to Mike as "ZX Spectrum". He is more often than not called Mike rather than Michael.
