Michael John Myers, O.C.
Scarborough, Ontario and New York, New York, U.S.A.

Mike Myers is one of the most multi-faceted comedic performers of his generation. An actor, writer, director and producer, he is celebrated for creating memorable television and film characters like Wayne Campbell, Shrek, Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, whose catchphrases are now part of the popular culture lexicon. He wears his heritage on his sleeve, with many shout-outs and inside jokes about Canada appearing throughout his international career. His 2016 book, Canada, is both a personal memoir and a love letter to his homeland.
