Mike Myers gained worldwide fame with his impersonations of a heavy metal-loving couch potato in Wayne's World and an oversexed British spy in Austin Powers.

After graduating high school, Myers joined Second City, Toronto's famed improv group. By the age of 20, Myers was the star of his own TV series, Mullarkey and Myers. In 1989, Myers became a member of Saturday Night Live. During his time on the show, he won an Emmy for his writing.

He also wrote and starred in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, in addition to two sequels. In 2001, Myers made an audible return to the movies as an unsightly ogre in Shrek.
