CAST

MIKE MYERS (Shrek) reprises the voice of everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, which he first created in the Academy Award®-winning animated blockbuster of the same name.

A comedy film favorite, Myers has also created a wide array of memorable characters for both film and television. In 1997, he co-wrote, produced and starred in the comedy hit "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," about a swinging '60s fashion photographer/secret agent who is cryogenically frozen and awakens in the decidedly less swinging '90s. Myers played the dual roles of Austin Powers and his nemesis, Dr. Evil, in the film, which became a box office smash. Two years later, Myers co-wrote, produced and starred in the even more successful sequel, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," in which he reprised the roles of Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, and added the Scottish double agent, Fat Bastard, to his repertoire. Myers garnered an American Comedy Award for Funniest Actor in a Movie for his triple performance in the film. In 2002, he co-wrote, produced and starred in the most recent installment of the hit franchise, "Austin Powers in Goldmember," which outgrossed both of its predecessors.

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Myers began his career right out of high school as a member of Toronto's famed Second City Comedy Troupe. That led to a stint with Chicago's Second City Troupe, where he caught the attention of "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels.

In 1989, Myers made his debut as a performer and writer on "Saturday Night Live," and over the next six seasons created some of the show's most unforgettable characters. His work on the show brought him an Emmy Award for Best Writing in a Variety or Music Program, as well as an additional nomination in that category and another nomination for Best Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Some of the most popular Myers personas on "Saturday Night Live" included "Coffee Talk" hostess Linda Richman; Dieter, the host of the avant-garde "Sprockets"; Simon, the boy in the bathtub; and Wayne Campbell, the host of his own Public Access show "Wayne's World."

It was the last that brought Myers his first feature film success, when "Wayne's World" came to the big screen, breaking box office records. Myers also co-wrote the screenplay for the film, which went on to gross more than $200 million. He later reprised the role of Wayne Campbell in the hit sequel "Wayne's World 2." Myers' other film credits include the title role in "The Cat in the Hat," based on the Dr. Seuss classic, "So I Married an Axe Murderer," and "54."

CAMERON DIAZ (Princess Fiona) once again gives voice to Princess Fiona, who found her one true love, and her true self, in the Oscar®-winning mega-hit "Shrek."

A four-time Golden Globe nominee, Diaz earned her first nod in 1999 for her performance in the title role of the Farrelly brothers' smash hit comedy "There's Something About Mary." She was also named the Best Actress of the Year by the New York Film Critics Circle, and won an American Comedy Award and an MTV Award for her work in the film. The following year, she was Golden Globe-nominated for her role in Spike Jonze's "Being John Malkovich," for which she also received nominations for a BAFTA Award and an individual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award, as well as a second SAG nomination shared with the cast.

In 2002, Diaz got her third Golden Globe nomination for her work opposite Tom Cruise in Cameron Crowe's "Vanilla Sky." She gained her most recent nod for her role in Martin Scorsese's epic drama "Gangs of New York," opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.

Diaz made her feature film debut in the 1994 Jim Carrey comedy "The Mask." She went on to star in the smash hit romantic comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding," with Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett. In 2000, she teamed with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as "Charlie's Angels" in the blockbuster hit actioner. She more recently starred in the sequel "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."

Her other credits include such diverse films as "The Sweetest Thing"; "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her," with Glenn Close, Holly Hunter and Amy Brenneman; Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday," with Al Pacino; Edward Burns' "She's the One"; "Feeling Minnesota," opposite Keanu Reeves; "Head Above Water"; Danny Boyle's "A Life Less Ordinary"; Peter Berg's "Very Bad Things," with Christian Slater; and "Invisible Circus." Diaz will next be seen in the film "In Her Shoes," in which she stars with Toni Collette for director Curtis Hanson.

EDDIE MURPHY (Donkey) is back as the voice of Donkey, whose non-stop talking nearly drove Shrek to distraction in the award-winning animated hit "Shrek." Murphy won an Annie Award and earned BAFTA and MTV Movie Award nominations for his performance in the first "Shrek."

Murphy is the most commercially successful African-American actor in the history of the motion picture business, and is one of the industry's top-five box-office performers overall. At the tender age of 43, Murphy is on the very short list of actors who have starred in multiple $100 million dollar pictures over the past three decades, from "Beverly Hills Cop" to "Daddy Day Care."

Murphy began his career as a stand-up comedian 25 years ago. In 1980, he joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" at the age of 19, and has since gone on to establish a successful career on the big screen.

His films have been among the highest grossing comedies in the industry, including "48 Hrs.," "Trading Places," "Dr. Dolittle," "Coming to America" and the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise. Murphy garnered Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actor in a Comedy for his performances in "Beverly Hills Cop," "Trading Places" and "48 Hrs."

In 1989, Murphy made his directorial debut with "Harlem Nights," a period comedy he also wrote and starred in, opposite Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx. In addition, Murphy starred in and produced the hit comedy "Life," co-starring Martin Lawrence, and starred opposite Steve Martin in the comedy hit "Bowfinger." He was also the voice of Mushu the Dragon in the successful animated epic "Mulan."

In 1996, Murphy portrayed seven different characters in the worldwide box office smash "The Nutty Professor," for which he received another Golden Globe Award nomination. He added a character to play a total of eight roles in the sequel "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps," co-starring Janet Jackson. His more recent hits include "Dr. Dolittle 2," "Daddy Day Care" and "The Haunted Mansion."

JOHN LITHGOW (Lord Farquaad) If "born to the theater" has meaning in determining a person's life path, then John Lithgow is a prime example of this truth. Son of a retired actress and a father who was both a theatrical producer and director, he moved frequently as a child while his father founded and managed local and college theaters and Shakespeare festivals throughout the midwest of the United States.

Not until he was 16, and his father became head of the McCarter Theater in Princeton New Jersey, did the family settle down. But for John, the theater was still not a career. He won a scholarship to Harvard University, where he finally caught the acting bug (as well as found a wife). Harvard was followed by a Fulbright scholarship to study at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Returning from London, his rigorous dramatic training stood him in good stead, and a distinguished career on Broadway gave him one Tony award for "The Changing Room", a second nomination in 1985 for "Requiem for a Heavyweight", and a third in 1988 for "M. Butterfly".

But with critical acclaim came personal confusion, and in the mid '70s he and his wife divorced. He entered therapy, and in 1982 his life started in a new direction, the movies - he received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Roberta Muldoon in The World According to Garp (1982). A second Oscar nomination followed for Terms of Endearment (1983), and he met a UCLA economics professor who became his second wife. As the decade of the '90s came around he found that he was spending too much time on location, and another career move brought him to television in the hugely successful series "3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996). This production also played a role in bringing him back together with the son from his first marriage, Ian Lithgow, who has a regular role in the series as a dim-witted student.
