==Summary==
Ford Prefect is a main character in the science fiction series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." He is an alien from the planet Betelgeuse V, posing as an out-of-work actor from Guildford, England. Ford is a researcher for the titular "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a compendium of knowledge for interstellar travelers.
