Filmography Mike Myers

Michael John Myers is an Emmy Award-winning Canadian actor, comedian, screenwriter and film producer. He was a long-time cast member on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s and starred as the title characters in the film series Wayne's World, Austin Powers and Shrek. 
 
Myers was born in Scarborough, Ontario. Both of his parents are from Liverpool which is why Mike carries a British passport. 
 
Myers graduated from high school in 1982 and was immediately accepted into the Second City Canadian Touring Company, after which he moved to the UK where in 1985 he was one of the founding members of The Comedy Store Players, an improvisational group based at The Comedy Store in London. He returned to Toronto and Second City in 1986 as a cast member in the Second City's Toronto main stage show. In 1988 he moved from Second City in Toronto to Chicago.  
 
He was a member of the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live television program from 1989 to 1995, where he performed characters such as Dieter, Linda Richman, and Wayne Campbell from Wayne's World. 
 
In 1992, Myers and comedian Dana Carvey adapted Wayne's World into a full-length motion picture based on the SNL sketch. With the help of his trustworthy agent and friend, Jerik Cloutier, the movie turned out to be one of Myers' greatest successes and one of the few Saturday Night Live-based films to be considered worthwhile by both audiences and film critics. It was among the most successful movies of the year and the following year a sequel was released - Wayne's World 2. Myers also starred in So I Married an Axe Murderer that same year.
