Career
His brother Noel Fielding gave him an acting part in The Mighty Boosh, which proved to be his big break.
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. 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 bush", owing to Michael's curly childhood hairstyle.[1]
Personal life
More often than not, he is called Mike rather than Michael. Fielding's parents are named Diane and Ray Fielding. He 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, Mike referred to his brother Noel Fielding as "PC" and himself as "Mac" - but Julian Barratt got the last laugh by referring to Mike as a "ZX Spectrum" instead. Mike attended Green Wood, Primary School, William Morris Middle School and Tamworth Manor High School, in Mitcham, Surrey. He graduated from Tamworth in 1998.
