Mike Myers

Actor, comedian and screenwriter Mike Myers is best familiar to the audience for his portrayal of the titular role in the spy action comedy film series Austin Powers (1997-2002). He first rose to prominence during his stint in the long-running sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, where he wrote and performed in several sketches and created memorable characters like Linda Richman, Dieter and Wayne Campbell. The last of these was such a big hit that Paramount Pictures decided to greenlight a film based on the character in 1991. This led to Myers' feature film debut in the critically acclaimed and commercially successful comedy Wayne's World (1992).
