MIKE MYERS
Michael John Myers (born May 25, 1963) 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, the son of Alice (née Hind), an office supervisor who was formerly
in the RAF, and Eric Myers, who worked in insurance business and previously was a cook for the British
Army. Both of his parents are from Liverpool. His older brother Paul is an indie rock singer-songwriter,
broadcaster and author. Myers is of English, Scottish, and Irish ancestry, and was raised Protestant.
Myers is a big Liverpool F.C. fan and watches them often. He quoted that Midfielder Steven Gerrard is the
best in the world and will be knighted. His autobiography states "Gerrard is quality, superb, brilliant
and such an inspiration to the team". Mike Myers is a huge fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team, so
much in fact, that he made a movie involving the team entitled The Love Guru. Myers attended Stephen
Leacock Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, Ontario.

He made numerous appearances, including as Wayne Campbell, on Toronto's Citytv in the early 1980s, on the
alternative video show "City Limits" hosted by Christopher Ward. Myers also appeared as his Wayne Campbell
character in the music video for Ward's Canadian hit "Boys and Girls". Later, Ward would appear as one of
Austin Powers' band members in Ming Tea in Myers' popular movie series.

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.

The folowing year Myers once again returned to the screen as everyone's favorite snaggletoothed superspy
in Austin Powers in Goldmember. Returning as series stalwarts Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard as well, the third
film in the series also found Myers stepping into the shoes of the newest master criminal, the titular
Goldmember. As a double jointed Danish criminal mastermind with an unsightly skin disorder and a plan for
world domination, Myers once again scored a hit at the box office, raking in an impressive opening weekend
gross and holding its own against a slew of notable summer releases.


DANA CARVEY
Dana Thomas Carvey (born June 2, 1955) is an American Emmy-award winning,actor and comedian known for his
work on Saturday Night Live and the spin-off movie Wayne's World.

Carvey was born in Missoula, Montana, the son of Billie, a schoolteacher, and William Carvey, a high
school business teacher. Carvey is the brother of Brad Carvey, the engineer/designer of the Video Toaster.
The character Garth Algar (from the movie Wayne's World) is a loosely-based portrayal of Brad. Carvey was
raised Lutheran. When he was three years old, his family moved to San Carlos, California, in the San
Francisco Bay Area. He received his first drum kit at an early age. He attended Tierra Linda Junior High
in San Carlos, California, and Carlmont High School in Belmont, California, and received his Bachelor's
degree in communications from San Francisco State University.

Carvey's first movie role was a small part in the 1981 horror film Halloween II. He then costarred on One
of the Boys in 1982, a short-lived television sitcom that also starred Mickey Rooney, Nathan Lane, and Meg
Ryan. In 1984, Carvey had a small role in Rob Reiner's This Is Spinal Tap film, in which he played a mime,
with fellow comedian Billy Crystal. He also starred in the short-lived movie-based action show Blue
Thunder. In 1994, Carvey starred in the film Clean Slate. In 2002, he returned to the silver screen in the
comedy Master of Disguise, which was panned by critics but managed about $40 million at the North American
box office. He is number 90 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.

A very private person, Carvey withdrew from the limelight to focus on his family. He later said in an
interview that he doesn't want to be in a career in which his kids would already be grown with him having
neglected time with them. Carvey may hold the distinction of being the only comedian ever to be imitated
by a former President of the United States at the funeral of another former President of the United
States. At the January 2, 2007 funeral of Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush reminisced in his eulogy about
how Ford took it in stride when SNL's Chevy Chase made Ford the object of his own imitations. Bush cited
this as a valuable lesson in learning to laugh at one's self as a part of public life. "I'd tell you more
about that," Bush continued, "but as Dana Carvey would say, [imitating Carvey imitating him] 'Not gonna do
it! Wouldn't be prudent!'".
