Happy Birthday, Mike Myers!
Party on! Comedian Mike Myers turns 49 today.
Born in Scarborough, Ontario, Myers got his start on Saturday Night Live in 1988. On the show, Myers portrayed hilarious characters, such as Simon -- a British "cheeky monkey" who liked "drawerings" and baths -- and Wayne Campbell, a heavy-metal public-access television show host. The comedian brought the character of Wayne to the big screen in 1992 for the film Wayne's World alongside Tia Carrere and Dana Carvey. Myers has also been the star of the successful Austin Powers and Shrek series.
