On May 5th, Mike Myers is back doing what he does best, and that is playing several different roles in one series. Since it has been a long time since he did that, he is going to be making up for lost time in The Pentaverate. The actor will play not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but eight new characters in the Netflix comedy.
They are:
Ken Scarborough: An old-school Canadian news journalist who sets out to expose the Pentaverate and win his job back
Anthony Lansdowne: A New England conspiracy theorist, determined to expose the Pentaverate
Rex Smith: A far-right radio host and highly prominent conspiracy theorist
Lord Lordington: The Pentaverate’s oldest and highest-ranking member.
Bruce Baldwin: Former media mogul
Mishu Ivanov: Ex-Russian oligarch
Shep Gordon: Former Rock-N-Roll manager
Jason Eccleston: A tech genius who invented the Pentaverate’s supercomputer, MENTOR
Since it is not a one-man show, he will be joined by Rob Lowe, Jennifer Saunders, Ken Jeong, Keegan Michael-Key, and Debi Mazar throughout the six 30-minute episodes.
It might not be the fourth installment of Austin Powers, but it is a much-needed hold-over until then.
Yeah, baby. We got our baby back, baby back, baby back ribs. Sorry, I had to do it.
