Mike Myers started his profession with the Second City troupe in Toronto, and later Chicago, prior to joining the cast of NBC's television "Saturday Night Live" in 1989. Originally a returning member of the ensemble cast, Mike was quickly made a featured permanent member of the comedy ensemble. Myers' incredibly mixture of characters included Dieter, the sexually undecided, West German new age television talk show host; Linda Richman, the "verklempt" drag queen role motivated by his mother-in-law; and Wayne Campbell, the strongly suburban metal head music buff who televised his own public access cable television show from his Aurora, Illinois basement.

Myers' unusual characters gained him a ton of sexy celebrity admirers as well, leading to wonderful "SNL" sketches including Barbara Streisand's surprise guest appearance on super-fan Linda Richman's "Coffee Talk" and Madonna's now legendary game of truth or dare with Wayne Campbell.

Along with his associate Garth (Dana Carvey), Mike Myers starred in the feature film that would act as his prizewinning changeover into movie and film projects. As co-writer and star of the 1992's "Wayne's World”, woth Tia Carrere and Lara Flynn Boyle, Mike Myers had the most triumphant "Saturday Night Live" sketch spin-off blockbuster to date, and introduced the words "Not!" and "Way!" into the American glossary. "Wayne's World" showed a pleasing, and very rewarding, trip through some extremely strange corners of pop culture, and went on to produce the less successful sequel "Wayne's World 2" (1993) for true young teen addicts of the Mike Myers and Dana Carvey team.

That same year Myers joined the ranks of leading men with the kindhearted comedy-thriller film "So I Married an Axe Murderer" (1993), speaking such shining lines like “She smelled like soup” and “That boy’s head is like Sputnik.” The actor was cute and afunny, playing the twin role of a young, poet and his shockingly different Scottish Mad Hatter of a father.

Mike Myers left "Saturday Night Live" in 1995 and took a two year vacation from film and television. He made a successful return with the summer young teen hit "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997). Inspired by Burt Bacharach's love song "The Look of Love,” and combining the particularly silly antics and love of 1960's spy films passed on from his English father, Myers developed the script in three weeks, spoofing British secret agents (and Sean Connery's hairy chest), along with the "hip" sexual craze of the 1960's. With an outdated free love attitude and alarmingly bad teeth, Austin Powers managed to get the girl (Elizabeth Hurley) and avoid global annihilation at the hands of Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) all in under an hour and a half. The film enjoyed a second life as a video favorite, going so far as to better the trendy social impact of "Wayne's World.”

Then, Mike Myers was off to Ireland to film "Pete's Meteor" (1997) joining with his "So I Married an Axe Murderer" co-star Brenda Fricker in Joe O'Byrne's account of a Dublin family who enters into the limelight after a meteor falls into their backyard. In 1998, Myers took on Steve Rubell, owner of the prominent 1970's hot spot Studio 54 with a dramatic role in the disco loving genre "54.” Also in 1998, Mike performed an rousing song and dance version of "What's New Pussycat?" for the TNT television special "Bacharach: One Amazing Night", a honor to the celebrated songwriter who motivated and appeared in the Austin Powers films.

Mike Myers hit the big screen the next year as writer and star of the long awaited sequel "Austin Powers II: The Spy Who Shagged Me,” a time travel story with Austin Powers' newly acquired 1990's education meeting his wonderful return to 1969. One of the most hyped films of the summer of 1999, “The Spy Who Shagged Me” showed Mike Myers taking on a new part in addition to Austin Powers and his enemy Dr. Evil, the actor sported considerable padding to play suitably named crime boss Fat Bastard.

Myers had numerous projects in development after the Austin Powers sequel, including a feature variation of his admired and wacky "Saturday Night Live" character Dieter, however, Myers wish to stop the movie on the verge of production eventually led to a spiteful and public legal battle with the two main production houses, Universal and Imagine. In addition, the actor lent his voice talents to DreamWorks SKG's animated film "Shrek" (2001) portraying the title ogre who finds true love with an ugly princess, and including the famous voices of Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy. The enormously popular film was called the year's best movie by many reviewers, and Myer's prominent heavy Scottish accent voice for Shrek became an overnight smash.

Mike Myers revisited his most loved role in 2002 in "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (2002). Goldmember brought together an all-star cast of cameos and guest appearances including Beyonce, John Travolta, Britney Spears and Tom Cruise in this story about learning that his father has been kidnapped, and Austin Powers must travel to 1975 and defeat the aptly-named villain Goldmember - who is working with Dr. Evil.

Mike Myers' next role was as a fast talking flight attendant opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in the comedy "View From the Top" (2003) with Christina Applegate, about when a small-town woman who tries to achieve her goal of becoming a flight attendant. Myers' hilarious, self-aware role almost saved the film, but the damage was too great for even Mike Myers to fix. Myers resolved his dispute with Imagine chief Brian Grazer and took the role of the Cat in the bouncy translation of Dr. Seuss’s "The Cat in the Hat" (2003), a variation of the classic story about Sally and Conrad who are two bored kids whose life is turned up-side-down when a talking cat comes to visit them. More troubled with production strategy than storytelling, the film was not helped by Myers' odd choices, including taking a Linda Richman-like New York accent, and adding awkward humor into the script.

After lending his voice for the sequel “Shrek 2” (2004), Myers took a noticeable vacation from projects that included a few attention-grabbing personal moments. On September 2, 2005, Myers appeared with rapper Kanye West as a host during NBC’s “A Concert for Hurricane Relief,” a 60 minute charity performance to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. West strayed from the script to criticize the media’s representation of African Americans in New Orleans, which Mike Myers chose to disregard by continuing to read from the teleprompter. But when West declared that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” Myers could not help doing a double-take prior to cameras cutting suddenly to the next presenter (Chris Tucker). A month later, Myers appeared alongside West for a short, but funny satire on “Saturday Night Live,” saying that the government had revoked the rapper’s citizenship and the FBI was watching his activities.

Meanwhile, Myers peacefully split from wife Robin Ruzan after thirteen years of marriage with neither giving any motive, but declaring that the two remained “devoted and loving friends.”

Returning to his acting projects, Mike Myers was the starring voice once again for “Shrek the Third” (2007), that had the thorny Ogre unexpectedly becoming king of Far Far Away after his father-in-law King Harold unexpectedly dies. A hesitant Ogre King tries to find an appropriate substitution, Queen Fiona’s (Cameron Diaz) loafer cousin Artie (Justin Timberlake). This sequel also introduced more voices from Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas.

After another extended absence from live films, Mike Myers set his mind to working on the laid back comedy rendition “The Love Guru” (2008) starring Jessica Alba, playing an original character conception, Pitka, a self-help expert summoned to help solve couple’s romantic troubles. Myers gave Pitka a trial outing in 2006 in New York City theaters during several of his comedy routines.

Projects currently in production for Myers include the sequel "Shrek Goes Fourth" (2009) about the further adventures of the giant green ogre Shrek, living in the land of Far, Far Away. Next is the comedy "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (2009), the remake of the 1947 film about Walter Mitty, a milquetoast man who lives life vicariously through daydreams in which he envisions himself in a series of heroic, fantastic personas. Myers will end the year with the strange biographical drama "See Me Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked for Your Pleasure" (2009), a look at the life and death of Keith Moon (Mike Myers), whose innovative drumming and penchant for destroying his kit made the Who one of the most influential, rebellious bands of the 1970s.
