Michael Oliver's Role in "Alien Autopsy"

One of Michael Oliver Ponce's most unusal roles was in the 1995 TV special, Alien Autopsy - Fact or Fiction. It aired on the FOX network during the summer in 1995. Michael acted in the original footage without using any make up at all! Ray Santilli, a London-based video entrepreneur, claimed to have original black-and-white video footage on an autopsy being performed on one of the aliens allegedly captured in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. He peddled his footage of what was supposedly the autopsy to various networks and FOX produced a special show about the footage.

The alien autopsy footage was later proved to be a fake when John Ritter recognized Michael Oliver Ponce as the alleged alien carcass. Here are some images of Ponce from that TV special:

They should have thrown Ponce in the Clink for that scam! I bet he and his golddigging mother came up with that scam as Ponce lacks the mental capacity to have come up with it on his own!

I think that was one of Michael Oliver's best roles ever. He's much better at played a decaying carcass than he is at playing a speaking role!
