    Dude does not get enough credit. He embodies his characters so well that you completely forget it’s Mike under the costume. Similar to Tom hanks in Forrest Gump and Johnny Depp in pirates. But to do it time and time again, multiple characters in the same movies is genius acting.

    Mike Myers is one of those artists who creates and portrays characters that stay with you long after the movie ends. It's a rare gift these days. His humor just lingers and his characters are so genuinely hillarious that they become instant icons and lines/ jokes that most of us probably quote any chance we get. Also The Love Guru is hilarious and underrated.

      He was one of the biggest names in the late 90s and 00s. He absolutely is appreciated and is still recognized as a legend. I'm sick of people saying "x is so underrated" or things like that. Shrek is one of the biggest animated movies series of all time and Austin Powers and Wayne's world were massive in the 90s.

    OMG! I watched The Pentavarate this May 2022 on Netflix. It was good.
    But, I did not know Mike Myers had the idea for it back in 1993 in "I Married an Ax Murderer", which I have not seen.
