Career

Myers began performing in commercials at two years old. He produced a commercial for British Columbia Hydro at the age of ten, with Gilda Radner playing his mother. He made a guest appearance on the TV show King of Kensington at 12 years old. He appeared on the television show "Boy on Wheels" in season 1 of the Littlest Hobo at 16 years old at 16.

After graduating from high school, Myers was accepted into The Second City Canadian touring company. He migrated to the United Kingdom and was one of the founding members of The Comedy Store Players, an improvisational company based at The Comedy Store in London in 1985.

In collaboration with Neil Mullarkey, he appeared on the British children's television program Wide Awake Club, parodying the show's natural aplomb with his own "Sound Asleep Club" this year.

He appeared in The Second City's main stage performance, Second City Theatre, in 1986. He went from Second City in Toronto to Chicago in 1988. He was prepared, competed, and instructed at the Improv Olympics.

Myers appeared on many television shows, including Wayne Campbell on Toronto's Citytv in the early 1980s; myers also appeared on several television shows after Christopher Ward's unveiling of City Limits, which was essentially the prototype. In Ward's Canadian hit "Boys and Girls," myers appeared as Wayne Campbell in a music video.

In the 1986 summer series It's Only Rock & Roll, produced by Toronto's Insight Production Company for CBC Television, Wayne Campbell's character was prominent. Wayne appeared both in-studio and in a sequence of location sketches edited and edited by Allan Novak. Myers co-starred with Dana Andersen of Second City and later directed by Novak, which later became the famous "Sprockets" sketch on Saturday Night Live.

Myers first appeared on Saturday Night Live on January 21, 1989, becoming the first repertory actor to the program's cast in over two years. According to Entertainment Weekly, "he quickly became one of the show's top draws thanks to his ability for constructing strangeball characters with memorable catch phrases." Myers appeared in "Lothar of the Hill People," "Stuart Rankin, All Things Scottish," "Mimon", "Mimon," "Reality Presenter," "The Hyper Hypothesis," "Wayne's World" and "Scottish Soccer Hooligan Weekly," in addition to "Wayne's World" and "Sprockets." On January 21, 1995, Myers' last episode as a cast member aired (exactly six years to the day). In 1997, he returned to host and made a cameback as Dr. Corey, his film role. In 2014, Evil was back in its first place.

When Myers and Dana Carvey adapted their "Wayne's World" Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketches into the film Wayne's World (1992), he made his film debut. It was one of the year's best films of the year, and Wayne's World 2 followed it in 1993; Myers appeared in So I Married an Axe Murderer the same year. After the completion of his time as an SNL regular, he went on a two-year absence from performing.

Myers returned to acting in Austin Powers: The International Man of Mystery (1997), followed by Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Myers played both the hero (Austin Powers) and the villain (Dr. Bruton). In both three films, evil (Fat Bastard) and another villain (Goldmember) are included, as well as a henchman (Fat Bastard) and another villain (Goldmember) in the sequels.

In the film 54 (1998), which portrayed Steve Rubell, the director of New York City's historic 1970s disco nightclub Studio 54, one of Myers' rare non-comedic roles appeared. The film was not particularly or commercially profitable, though Myers received some encouraging news.

Myers was sued by Universal Pictures for $3.8 million for withdrawing from a deal to produce a SNL film based on his SNL character Dieter. Myers said he refused to honor the US$20 million deal because his script was not ready. Myers retaliated and a deal was reached after Myers promised to make another film with Universal for several months. Myers appeared in The Cat in the Hat in November 2003, and the title character was played by Myers. It received poor feedback and was unsuccessful at the box office.

Myers, the original scripted voice actor, died in December 1997 before recording all of his dialogue. In 2003, Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2006), and Shrek Forever After (2010) all appeared in Shrek 4-D (a theme park ride).

Myers was named the second Canadian to win the MTV Generation Award in June 2007, after Jim Carriery in 2006.

Myers co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in The Love Guru, a poorly received book, in 2008, and in 2009, he appeared as British general Ed Fenech in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Myers appeared in supporting roles in Terminal (2018) and Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), following an eight-year absence from feature film.

Myers sent a cryptic note in May 2022 that indicated that an Austin Powers 4 would be forthcoming.

Myers appeared in Britney Spears' "Boys" as Austin Powers, in my "Boys" video. In turn, Britney Spears appeared in Goldmember's Austin Powers as "Boys." He was voted one of the top comedy acts by fellow comedians and comedy insiders in a 2005 poll.

Myers, as well as Ming Tea guitarist and vocalist Susanna Hoffs and singer Matthew Sweet, are members of the band Ming Tea. They performed "BBC" and "Daddy Wasn't There" from the Austin Powers films. Myers performed a one-night stand-back of his appearance with The Comedy Store Players in 2011. Chortle, a UK comedy website, praised his performance.

In the Gala Presentation section of the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, Myers' 2013 directorial debut, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, was selected to be shown. Myers hosted a revived version of The Gong Show in heavy makeup as Tommy Maitland, a fictional British host, although his identity was not confirmed until the second season.

In July 2014, Myers, an avid fan of Monty Python's comedian, performed on stage at the O2 Arena on the final night of their ten-date live show Monty Python Live (Mostly), and also appears on Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

Myers will appear in and executive produce a Netflix comedy series in April 2019, which will feature him as multiple characters. The Pentaverate, which is a spin-off of So I Married an Axe Murderer, was announced in June 2021.
