Right i went to see the new Austin Powers today and me and my freind are talking about DR Evil and Austin Powers. Now are the two of them the same person?. They certainly look the same.

Your kidding me. I thought the fat bastard might have put a bit of glamour into Scotland but now i find it it's played by that other guy that isn't Scottish well i'm dissapointed to be honest.

Mike Myers is a pretty good actor. Few people can play multiple parts that interact with each other.

Maybe if they had made the fat guy American it would make the film a bit more real life:D .

Yeah, I even heard that Mike Myers first had Shrek as an American accent, but then he wanted to change it. It costed the company $6 million just to put in the new scottish one! But I think it was worth it :stickout

Does he get a larger salary since he has to play half the characters in the movie?

Well, he was paid US$25,000,000 + 21% of the films gross - so you can decide if he has a larger salary or not :D

And he started his career on a crappy early morning show on UK TV - who would have thought he'd get where he is now! :eek:
