Biography:

MIKE MYERS, one of the most multifaceted performers of his generation, has brought an astonishing array of memorable characters to life in film and television. As a writer, producer and actor, Myers is best known as the creative force behind such iconic characters as “Austin Powers” and “Shrek,” propelling Myers to become the only actor to ever have six films that have grossed more than $200 million in a row.

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Myers began his professional career the day he graduated from high school. Mike took his final exams at nine o'clock in the morning, auditioned for Toronto's famed Second City comedy troupe at noon, and was hired at three in the afternoon. This ultimately led to Myers joining Chicago's Second City Troupe, an association that would change his life forever. “Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels' discovery of Myers at Second City led to his debut as a featured performer and writer on the show in 1989.
