10 Forgotten Actors That Need To Make A Comeback

6. Mike Myers

FEC4638E352D6B1DD9495739BF7A4 Mike Myers was a comedy heavyweight throughout the 90s and much of the early 2000s. Sure Mike has done some voice work for Shrek but the last movie that he managed to headline was The Love Guru which left quite a few of us wondering, what the hell happened? When Austin Powers hit the scene people were visiting emergency rooms because they were in so much pain from laughing too hard. Much like anything else that is good, too much of a good thing became a bad thing. By the time the third Austin Powers movie was released Myers decided to call it a day on the franchise which in retrospect was a good move. After the epic failure that was The Love Guru Mike Myers comepletely dissapeared which is not what any of us wanted. We live in the age of Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, Zack Galifinakis, and Jonah Hill. Many of the actors that were just mentioned have something that makes them special but not one of them can fill the shoes that Mike Myers wears. I'm not saying he's better or worse than anybody all I am saying is that he is his own man and brings his own unique presence to the screen. Mike Myers has taken quite the break from mainstream cinema. At this point an Austin Powers sequel would be welcomed by many. It has been long enough of a wait to where a new Austin Powers or Wayne's World film would be celebrated. Let's hope he cranks one or two more great comedy films out before calling it a day.

I could talk your ear off all day about my vast (albeit completely useless) knowledge of pro-wrestling and then argue with you how the characters in LOST were more important than the plot itself.
