- Mike Myers rose to prominence as a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1989 to 1995. He became a comedic film star when he wrote and starred in the classic comedy Wayne’s World.
Myers reached the height of his popularity and talent when he starred as multiple characters in the highly quotable spy action-comedy Austin Powers. Both Wayne’s World and Austin Powers have left lasting legacies to pop culture.
So, why has Mike Myers disappeared from the big and small screens? Here’s the real reason why Hollywood stopped casting Mike Myers.

Looper loved the video
Looper do billy zane next
why no one is casting Rowan Atkinson the Mr bean ??????????????????
This comment looks like spam and a scam. I'm reporting you.
VERY different.
So Hollywood didn't stop casting Mike Myers... Mike Myers quit auditioning... I wonder if these people know their headlines contradict their reporting.
They don't care, they're money-grubbing unfair hacks.
More clichbait to get more views = cash
Mike Myers currently has three movie projects in the works so....?
Yes your right
@@StreetTruckinTitan A year later, and have any of them hit production yet?
Mike Myers estimated net worth is $175 million, he'll be just fine.
Barack Smith exactly 😂acting is just a profession. A potentially lucrative one but a profession nonetheless. When you have all the money to last you and your children several life times, why do you need to continue working anymore? Most successful actors only continue to work because they really enjoy what they do, not because they NEED to. I'm not a major fan of his work, but fair play to him bowing out when he was able to. I really can't blame him.
Barack Smith did you know that his wealth is actually calculated using maple syrup?
Backstage Bums lmao ikr
you got that right, who needs the fame when you got the money..this guy has made a fortune off of sequels and trilogies, SHREK put him over the top...chill Mike you don't have to work and you don't owe us anything and to this day whenever I need a laugh I pop in a AUSTIN POWERS movie.
Barack Smith qqqqqqqqqqqqq
"stopped casting" and 'too busy to be acting' are two different things.
Also being a piece of it diva who fires people for making eye contact with him might have something to do with it.
Next up: The Real Reason Why Looper Makes False Click Bait Video Titles
exactly
The reason:
It drums up comments which entices the algorithm.
I still want Austin Powers 4....
David Moreno It's to late for that.
David Moreno all we need is part 4
Rico suave mas puto You seen Zoolander 2 or Dumb and Dumber To.
rather have a Wayne's World 3
I thought Wayne's World 2 was a flop.
Holy shit, that's what he looks like in the thumbnail now?!
M'aiq the Liar Oh god...
My friend, haven't seen you in a while:)
Dragonborn lol
Dragonborn M'aiq wishes you well.
I wish you well too, unless you lying and don't care if I live?
His best character by far is not Wayne or Austin Powers, it is Dr. Evil. I honestly think he could make a hilarious movie just based on Dr. Evil alone.
Supplemental Sense Maybe a prequel when Austin and Evil were still in school(the one that gives out the reward “international man of mystery”). Ending of course with Evil becoming Dr.Evil(He didn’t spend 5 years in evil school to be called “Mr Evil”) and committing his first SUPER crime.
Supplemental Sense Just call it Douglas Powers have seth green back as Scotty and instead of becoming a parody of 007 be a parody of Star wars. At the climax Dougie Powers aka Dr. (Formerly) Evil and Scott Evil goofingly duke it out with the power of cosmic mojo or something. Scott is on the ledge like luke, but then.....
fat bastard is a way more interesting charecter too be honest, hes funny, has a serious and deep analogy that is almost saddening , therefore it would make a good main, or if not good side charecter
That would be an epic spin off. Maybe even lead to the next Austin Powers movie.
Dr evil reminds me of Donald Trump lol
So I Married An Axe Murderer was by far his best movie. Criminally underrated.
Danimal300zx Rose...jailbird.Happy in her cage no longer full of rage🎶
That movie was pure genius. Still one of my all time favorites. Especially him playing his Scottish father.
it was brilliant and totally underrated
Danimal300zx I agree 100%
Yes!!!!
What do you mean "Stopped casting"??? He has his own production company and his own money... nobody can tell him what to do, just like Mel Gibson.. he's killing it.
He's on a net worth of $175M so Im pretty sure he's just choosing to retire
Well like it said , he's choosy and if somebody really came up with a great solid peace ... he'd jump on it ... but it has to be fkn great! He's given us a dozen great movies to watch with friends and family and on date night ... I married and ax murderer :) Great stuff. He's fkn old :) his death is just around the corner. Like everybody that was in grumpy old men. Not his movies but every old bastard in that movie is dead now and he's right around the age they all kicked the bucket.
Or just choos-y.
When you don't need the money you do it for the love and that's in far shorter supply. Both his passion for it and the quality that comes his way.
Ok
@Jesse Bowman he's 55 you freakin moron. Death is hardly 'just around the corner' for people when they reach their 50s. Walter Matthau from Grumpy Old Men was 80 when he died. And Jack Lemmon was nearly 75. So at least get your facts right if you are attempting to make a point. Ignorant idiot.
@@Charlie-rb7to exactly lol 55 not 80!!!!
I’m only on here to say two things: I love mike and I love the love guru it’s one of his best in my opinion
Mike Myers is in a class by himself. I really love this guy, and I respect his life choices. Btw/ I liked “ the Love Guru”, and even bought the dvd. 🤗 I’m happy he found his joy 💖
The real reason he stopped getting cast is because he killed all those people on Halloween.
With an ax.
r0bw00d - made out of black dildos...
You got that right!
even tho he's a murderer I still think he's pretty funny
I met this 38-year-old Canadian with a blank, pale, emotionless face...and the blackest eyes...the Devil's eyes. I spent 8 years trying to reach him and another seven trying to keep him out of casting offices, because I realized that what was living behind that comedian's eyes was purely and simply...DR EVIL.
Jennifer Lawrence...Why the hell is she getting casted in so many movies and her acting isnt captivating? She is way overrated !!!
DaFireman33 she was awful in X Men.
DaFireman33 - her acting is very meh. It's her darling and public love affair bred of it that make her so popular. Also pretty.
my brother and i were at the gym talking about one of her movies (which ones he's seen, which ones i've seen, blah blah) and he deduced she keeps getting cast because "she has nice boobs" hahaha
she's funny if you only watch her interviews every now and again. she's becoming quite self-aware now and i think that comes off as arrogant instead of charming.
Totally full of herself, not that great an actress.
Myers pushed the boundaries as a comic genius but also knew of its dangers. Passionate intensity can go into berserk-rhetoric and wacko-land. He needed space from crazy making and try to find solid, safe place to feel grounded. His fatherhood provided him with the unconditional love and devotion he had need of.
He literally is a legend.. why are we acting like he’s just some actor
He made so much money from Shrek and Austin Powers franchises he doesn't have to do movies much anymore. Question answered.
dude money runs out!!!
doing the Shrek movies more or less killed the careers of Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy sadly.
@@EOh-ew2qf your goddamn right 🙏
@Ian Dog your right my bad 👍
@@Super_Mario128 How so?
So because he is rich as fuck. The end
CAN Control Perfect!
Doubtful he is rich, if he was he would have gotten plugs or a weave instead of that cheap toupee he is wearing to cover his fat bald dome.
James Prince richer than you, you pitiful little shit
James Prince
Seems like you're more triggered than he is
Seems like you're even more of an imbecile than he is.
well, I guess Bohemian Rhapsody was a pretty amazing script. The cast were all in awe of him and have said in interviews that he was an amazing actor.
Mike Meyers is a friend of my brother. They came up in comedy at the same time. I met him once at a party at my brother's house. He was very quiet and shy and a really nice guy. Very down to earth.
He's the best actor of all time. Gold member proves that
Miss his comedy so much. He's a genius god bless mike hope to see you on the live action big screen again.
To summarise: Hollywood haven't stopped casting him as he's been involved with other ventures of his own choosing. And despite it being mentioned that he's typecast for comedic roles, they slip in at the end that he's filming a noir thriller this year. Good going, Looper.
Chris B “summariZe” with a “z” please.
That's how you spell it in the UK and Canada lmao
Like his new Netflix show airing today.
So......Mike stopped casting himself?
joe banana lol
No, not a disappointment at all. Mike Myers is one of the greatest comedians ever. He's got his millions and probably just decided to take some time away from the Hollyweird scene to spend time with his family.
I thought Myers work in 54 was great! I thought he played that part amazingly well. Loved the first Austin Powers. I've never been big on sequels and AP2 and 3 just re-hashed the same old jokes but the characters he created and played were great. He's contributed to the movie world, came up with some of the funniest SNL skits, and gave us so much...hell, let him kick back and spend his fortune doing what he loves. He deserves it!
The guy who said "yes" to *The Love Guru* is a "tough sell"?!?
Likely The Love Guru (and Cat in the Hat) are reasons he's become more picky about scripts.
That's not exactly true. He wrote the script for the love guru (which was a passion project for him, and he's even turned down scripts that *he wrote!* Look up "Mike Myers dieter movie" for more about that.
Alden Martin Did u ever notice when actors become big and very popular, many of them choose to direct/star in a movie they wrote and r very passionate about? They will put so much time, energy, and effort into it. It turns out to be a massive failure and they stop acting? It happened to Myers with Love Guru. John Travolta with... Battlefield Earth??? I can't remember what it was called, but it was terrible!
well imagine the goof that said yes to sharknado
eric fisher+....i got an idea for a sequel with a twist (no pun intended).....i call it turdnado.......just wait till it hits the fan...s, wait til they get a load of that......oh yeah!
I guess Mike Meyers HAS A REAL LIFE and his priorities make more sense than those in Hollywood.
thats what it is.
I just want more Dr. Evil and Seth Green as Scott in a movie together
Mike said that the studio execs kept trying to tell him what was funny, and wanted him to change his scripts. He fought to control his own art, leading to rumors of him being “difficult” to work with. He wanted a deal like Tarantino has, basically “leave me alone, and trust me to make my movie”.
Mike Myers has made some classic unforgettable comedies, he doesn't need to do anything more. Wayne's World is hilarious, Austin Powers are all hilarious, also So I Married an Axe Murderer is one of his early great movies, with comedy and a little romance.
NO more Shrek movies goddammit.
Good news! In 2019 there's gonna be a new one!
Kaumak
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stopped after 2
Kaumak So much for Shrek 4 The Final Chapter.
No. MAKE ALL THE SHREK MOVIES.
Life for me is nothing with out a Shrek movie
I personally think he did a great job in, 'Cat in the Hat'...he was great in that movie!!
im surprised we never got another austin powers movie, they were so funny and popular
Stop casting? He made a butt load of money. I'm guessing he can do whatever he want's, including produce and make another movie if chooses to do so.
Mike Myers is a legend Hollywood is to busy ruining classic movies so screw Hollywood
please Mike come back to make Wayne's World 3 and Austin Powers 4
Best comment on any video ever, we can only pray he sees it and takes note haha xD
Scott could be the Villain in Austin Powers 4 :D
Yesssssssssss ahaha
from the looks of it, he's gotta lose a ton of weight.
On IMDB he's listed for Austin Powers 4
Just make another Austin Powers mmmmmovie already, and take my mmmmoney!
Field Of Vision babbbbbyy
We need one more Austin Powers out of him.
Groovy, baby.
Yesssssss!
Oh behaaave 😂😂 damn right they do
@@Irraptured …
I hope this channel surpasses WatchMojo
Gabe Millz Their lists are better than Watchmojo! I just watched their Top 10 Saddest Space Flight Disasters video. It sucks. Who ranks tragedy!?
Andrew Del Pilar EXACTLY. Watchmojo is really running out of ideas if you are ranking deaths
OdeToPhan To be fair, they've done that before several times. I think they ran out of ideas a long time ago and now they're just winging it at this point.
+OdetoPhan soon Looper will end up like WM right now. Though not in like, 5 years.
why? I'm honestly curious.
I really like Mike Myers, He's an awesome actor in my opinion man
We’d still be seeing mike Myers if he wasn’t so incredibly wealthy and successful from his films. If he was really struggling you’d see him in commercials and minor roles. He seems content where he is.
wow, when did Mike's hair go grey?!
Aussie Eighties its blonde
Aussie Eighties Yeah, it's definitely bleached.
Bubba bitty It's white. lol
pretty sure he did it on purpose just to get it out of the way
MuahMan you would think, that with his kind of money,
he could do something about that growth on the side
of his face...
Well if they ever make a Wikileaks movie he'd play a good Julian Assange. 😂
CraftCrü Dude1203 I was thinking of Julian while I was watching this video, 😝 its funny how only color of the hair can make a person change so much
They DID make a Wikileaks movie, it's called The Fifth Estate. Julian Assange was played by Benedict Cumberbatch. The movie was released in October of 2013. It's a pretty decent movie. Not great, but decent.
Is this his real hair colour?
Nah he is more than a foot shorter than Assange so it will never happen
Jeff Jones 5 words; Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher !
Height difference is Absolutely no reason for him to not get the part if someone wanted him cast as Assange in Hollywood that's for sure
Wait, Wayne from Wayne's World is a white haired old man already? Holy Jeez! W-where am I? When is it?
Do you mean Austin powers
His best movie is So I Married An Axe Murderer. All you millenials - check it out.
I watched that movie when it came out as a kid. Out of all of his movies, I'd say this one is my favorite.
Millennial here, I've adored that movie since I was like... 12 lol. Definitely a great one
Gen Z here I love the movie
Harriet, Harri-et, hard hearted harbinger of halibut. Beautiful, bemused, bellicose, butcher. So know- ing, so trusting, so love Ed?
@ Devery Shepardson - haha... Exactly! That question mark at the end is key!
Mike Myers should be directing that "Canada" trilogy that Kevin Smith tried to make a hit. Atleast he's actually FROM Canada.
MrDman21 he's lived in the States longer than he lived in Canada though. He's basically American.
Chantal Said So he's a Canadian American? Ha,ha!
Chantal Said *Canada is the 51st State only without the trash, the pollution, the rudeness, the war on drugs, the gun violence and the racism*
TBH Canada still has rude people, and racists.
I'm Canadian.
He's an AmeriCan.
shouldnt the title of this video be why mike myers doesnt act in Hollywood
PR GameFit Exactly. Sounds like he chooses not to work with Hollywood unless it's the right project.
My thoughts exactly. They make it sound like Hollywood just doesn't wanna cast him when that's not the truth. It's his decision not to act and there's a big difference between the two.
If you always so no they stop asking soon.
Mike is one of the few former SNL members who've succeeded in throwing off the yoke of Lorne Michaels. Seriously, someone stop Lorne... NOW! Lorne controls practically anything on NBC that airs after 9 PM and the rest of the network are seemingly afraid to try and stop him
Born Lorne David LIPOWITZ? hmmm
I really wish Michael Myers would make a comeback. He’s easily one of my favorite comedians and it sucks how just because he made a few stinkers that also bombed in the box office he isn’t in very many movies anymore.
Wow so happy to hear Wayne is doin good man chya. Tarantino should definitely cast him in more serious roles. Meyer's role in Inglorious Bastards was awesome.
You know being wealthy and not having to work and instead working on your hobbies doesn't really qualify as a "reason why Hollywood stopped casting." That's a reason why the actor isn't looking to be cast.
Mike Myers made his own movies. So I really don't think anyone "stopped" writing him.
I don’t care about any of the other possible projects, I want Wayne’s World 3 to happen. Please, Mike and Dana.
This is the best commercial for a car buying experience that I have suffered through. Thanks.
I really liked The Love Guru :(
Me Too!
It was full of originality and I didn't stop laughing or admiring every scene. I needed a hit of Myers and glad to find it. It's one of those few times the ratings on iMDB and Rotten are way way out. Normally you can put it to a change in culture / the times / silly audience/critics... but his stuff is timeless and high originality/quality. I don't get it. Maybe it is the 'masses'? if so - sad times! I get why there is time between his work - because it's rich and hyper full of originality woven together.. so I guess he empties his tickle box of ideas... then has to fill it up? I need more Mike Myers, more often. He makes life better.
BurtDude it
I think it only got bad reviews because it was “racist”
You're the only one.
They need one more Austin Powers movie. Other then that let him live his life the way he wants.
Good for him! Mike Myers is amazingly talented as seen in the Austin Powers series. Did a great job in Shrek too. Choosing to spend time with family and things he cares about is admirable. Looking forward to taking my kids to see Shrek 5.
I love these headlines "the real reason why.." and then insert something about pop culture that no one has noticed or have been talking about. Like a large population have been looking up false information about why they haven't seen a celebrity in a movie in a few years. Thanks for providing us all with the real reasons of pop culture mysteries that we have been exhaustively trying to decipher what information is true and what is false.
*Favorite Mike Myers moment was watching his jaw drop on live tv as Kanye famously said "George Bush doesn't care about black people"* #legendary
deakon jarvis What did Mike do?
Elgin Armstrong Figure it out dude!
Kanye is an absolute embarrassment.
*_You forgot about Austin Powers 4..._*
My man Mike Myers I would really love to see you do some more movies again you were my inspiration as a child growing up would definitely love to see Wayne's World 3 or another Austin Powers flick! =D
I will always love his classics and sometimes peoples' greatest works are at their beginning.
He's turned down 15 scripts since 1991, but he said yes to The Love Guru??
Life choices, Mike... Life choices...
Love Mike Myers he is awesome, I met him in person in Toronto during the Leafs game and when me and my wife came to him to ask for autograph he was very pleasant to talk to as well he even asked how me and my wife were doing which I found it very nice of him to hear it from a Star Actor of his caliber! I'm sure he will be back as he is plain AWESOME!
Live Leak I think Mike Myers is great!! Glad to hear that he was friendly towards you and your wife!!!
The person you met is not mike Myers is a person who looks like Mike Myers because of a face and hairstyle that looks like an actor who played Austin powers maybe the person you met is someone else not mike Myers but you thought is Mike Myers because of hair and a face who looks the same like an actor who played Austin powers
Damn, he’s old as hell now 😢
Looks like he aged 30 years in the past 10
@@rynolascavio3381 yet Elizabeth Hurley barley aged.
@@ciaranmcloughlin7165 why would you say that?
I loved Meyers playing "Deiter" on SNL :-D Vintage greatness :)
I stopped caring about 2 minutes into this.
Guess I'm the only person who thought The Love Guru was great
See my comment. I loved it too.
Tristen Howard I thought it was funny as hell
It can still be great for people, there doesn't have to be one opinion. I didn't get the humor of Wayne's World, loved the Austin Powers series, but I may give this a try as well.
Hell no, I thought it was funny. I don't see how it's considered one of the worst movies of all time
Tristen Howard it wasn't the worst movie I have seen .
What is the background song in this video?!😣 I can never find it and It would be nice to study to~
The love guru was actually a really good movie. Try watching it with no expectations. Most movies that are actually really good, are movies that you don't expect to be a certain way. Its why some people didn't like suicide squad or dawn of justice league. They expected a fast-paced hero movie like what marvel releases; instead they got a gritty drama filled movie with a lot of introduction and build-up with not as much action. Thus is the way with all movies. Hollywood isn't ruining movies. The expectations snd pompous attitudes of the viewers are ruining movies. Its like with hard video games, if you don't like a game cuz its hard or something, don't blame the game. Blame the player.
If I had his cash when I had kids, I wouldn't work either. Good for a good Canadian Boy. I'm 51 now and financially out of all debt. I get to work 3 to 4 days a week and have fun on the boat when I like. He left the stage when he was at the utmost TOP. Good for MIKE !!!!!!!
Michael C Omg! Good for you man! I got 5/6 more years to go..you made me feel better! Thank you!
He now looks like his idol Steve Martin.
johnathan clark
And like his idol, he now hasn't been remotely funny in two decades.
David Murphy Steve Martin is classic tho.. guy is old now, can't be on top forever man
True, Steve Martin can literally chill out and do fuck all nowadays he already made his bones decades ago and its not like he was a burnout unknown actor like lets say Scott Baio who received one role every 3 years.
I love this guy, very funny and a truly like-able dude! Party on Austin! lol
that quote about being a father - I love him even more now.
Holy crap I just realised that he played 3 characters in Austin powers
Really?
Robert Scott seriously? Where you been??
Robert Scott 4 characters in goldmember
4 actually.
I love Mike Myers, favorite movie.... My Wife was an Axe Murderer , love love love that movie.
Kellye Raiborn HEAD MOVE NOW!
Kellye Raiborn So I Married an Axe Murderer lol
Hearing the Love Guru was released in 08’ is such a a trip… feels like it was released much earlier like 03 - 05
I will never forget Sprockets! One of my favorite SNL characters!
We need a comeback Austin Powers 4 License To Shag come on lets do it 💯💯💯💯💯
The love Guru was hilarious!
The guy is a comic genius and has hardly been dropped by Hollywood; he just has a life!
After his wonderful tribute to both Sean Connery and his own father in the AFI opening I wouldn’t be surprised that fatherhood be a happy direction for him.
Looper, you forgot to mention the fact that he is a difficult actor to work with
I think he has earned a rest .
Still love the fact Rob Lowe’s apt in Wayne’s World was in my building.
Sometimes I keep thinking he should take the opportunity to make Wayne's World a real public access (or TH-cam) program. You know just for something fun to do.
He could be a Steve Martin lookalike
Sounds childish but I'm kinda hype to see shrek 5 .
DumbBoyChronicles who is not? lmao
I'm not.
DumbBoyChronicles
nah its not childish bruh its straight up gay AF!
Shrek isa luv, shrek isa lyfe!
DumbBoyChronicles No. No more Shrek....Please no more Shrek !
He's a legendary comedic character actor.
One of my favorite comedic stars.
I loved this guy, his so funny lol
Stopped casting? He's in Bohemian Rhapsody, which isn't even out yet.
Which came out 2 years after this video.
There have rarely been any comedy acts that over a prolonged period of time have not made some duds, even The Marx Brothers, Mel Brooks, Steve Martin, Woody Allen etc ... all legends & all with a few mediocre films behind them. With Myers I'm grateful for the big laughs he provided with I Married an Axe Murderer, Wayne's World & Austin Powers .. don't really care of a couple of others were missable.
Mike we miss ya!!!! Hope you show up soon to make the world awesome again.... congrats with your family... party on!
That guy doesn't need to work. He's probably a billionaire and at the age where he may just want to enjoy his life or direct a couple of films.
You are so wrong about The Love Guru. It's a late night comedy classic best viewed went buzzed. If you're French Canadian who likes hockey and happened to have experienced the Age of Aquarius in the US, this movie is hilarious. I've seen it FOUR times.INTIMACY ...INTO-ME-I SEE....So simple, yet so profound. This movie is full of little gems. Target audience was too small. That's was the problem.
yes absolutely brilliant movie. Can't get enough of it. Mariska Hargatay 🙏 😂
rivieracar1992 well said
Intimacy is like pulling out your wiener and someone saying, “Hey! That looks like a penis, only smaller!”
rivieracar1992 uh it was a box office bomb... just bc you like it doesn’t mean it didn’t tank the box office
Thanks for your work Mike Myers!
I believe he did enough to become legendary. I just wish he would give us one more Austin Powers...that would be awesome.
I am dying for more Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard. So sign me up for more Austin Powers, baby!
2 movies, this year. He's a GREAT character actor.
Whats the music on 3:30? Thanks :-)
