Biography

Michael John Myers, OC (born May 25, 1963) is a Canadian actor, comedian, and filmmaker. He has received seven MTV Movie & TV Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2002, he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2017, he was named an Officer of the Order of Canada for "his extensive and acclaimed body of comedic work as an actor, writer, and producer."

Myers gained recognition after appearing on various Canadian television programs, and he became widely known during his six seasons as a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series *Saturday Night Live* from 1989 to 1995, for which he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series. He received critical acclaim and numerous awards for portraying the title characters in the *Wayne's World* (1992–1993), *Austin Powers* (1997–2002), and *Shrek* (2001–present) franchises, the latter being the second highest-grossing animated film franchise. Myers also portrayed the titular character in the 2003 live-action adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book *The Cat in the Hat*.

In the 2010s, Myers acted in supporting roles in *Terminal* and *Bohemian Rhapsody* (both 2018). He made his directorial debut with the documentary *Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon* (2013), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
