Mike Myers

Although his parents had careers away from the spotlight, with his mom being an office supervisor and his father an insurance agent, a life in the entertainment industry wasn’t off-limits to Mike Myers. In fact, at just two years old, he already started appearing in commercials, followed by guest-starring stints in several TV shows. Since then, Myers has become a well-known comedian, regarded for his performance in projects such as Saturday Night Live, Waynes World, the Austin Powers movies, and the Shrek franchise.
