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 CLEESE (King Harold) lends his voice to Princess Fiona's father, King Harold, whose plans for his daughter's future did not include marriage to an ogre. Cleese has long been one of the industry's most innovative and influential comedic talents. Today's audiences have most recently seen him on the big screen as the new Q in the James Bond movie "Die Another Day"--having been promoted from R in "The World is Not Enough"--and as Nearly Headless Nick in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." He has also had a recurring role as Lyle Finster on the NBC television sitcom "Will & Grace." On the big screen, he next stars in the remake of "Around the World in 80 Days," and will be heard in the animated film "Valiant." Hailing from England, Cleese first gained international fame for his groundbreaking work as a creator, writer and member of the classic "Monty Python's Flying Circus." First aired on the BBC in 1969, the series was an instant hit in Europe and gained an equally loyal following when it landed on American shores in 1972. The show also spawned the feature film comedies "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "The Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life." There have also been subsequent Monty Python videos, CDs and specials. In 1988, Cleese co-wrote, executive produced and starred in the comedy hit "A Fish Called Wanda," for which he earned Oscar® and BAFTA nominations for Best Original Screenplay, and won a BAFTA Award and received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. He also co-wrote, produced and starred in the sequel "Fierce Creatures." His additional film acting credits include "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," "The Out-of-Towners," "Rat Race," "The Jungle Book," "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein," "Silverado," "Time Bandits" and "The Great Muppet Caper." For his work on television, Cleese won an Emmy Award for his guest role on the comedy series "Cheers," and received another Emmy nomination for a guest stint on "3rd Rock From the Sun." He also garnered a BAFTA Award for the acclaimed BBC series "Fawlty Towers," which he created and starred in. JULIE ANDREWS (Queen Lillian) is the voice of Princess Fiona's mother, Queen Lillian, who has her own reasons for accepting her daughter's choice of a husband. For more than half a century, Andrews has been a beloved and much-honored star of stage, screen and television. She was already a Broadway legend when she made her feature film debut in 1964's "Mary Poppins." Andrews' iconic performance in the title role of the magical nanny brought her an Academy Award®, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award. The following year, she earned a second Oscar® nomination and won another Golden Globe Award for her unforgettable portrayal of Maria Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music." She received her third Academy Award® nomination and won another Golden Globe Award for her "dual" role in "Victor/Victoria." Today's film audiences most recently saw Andrews as a queen trying to train her teenaged granddaughter to be a princess in "The Princess Diaries." She will reprise her role in the upcoming sequel, "The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement." Her earlier motion picture credits also include "The Americanization of Emily," "Hawaii," "Thoroughly Modern Millie," "Star!," "Darling Lili," and "10," to name only a few. Andrews was born and raised in England, where she first came to fame as a young musical performer on stage and on radio. She was still in her teens when she made her way across the Atlantic and to Broadway, where she made her debut in 1953 in the musical "The Boy Friend." She went on to create the role of Eliza Doolittle in Lerner and Loewe's Broadway musical "My Fair Lady," which became an instant classic and the longest-running musical of its day. Andrews also won a New York Drama Critics Award and garnered a Tony Award nomination for her performance. She received another Tony Award nomination in 1961 when she originated the role of Queen Guinevere in the Lerner and Loewe musical "Camelot." Thirty-five years later, Andrews returned to Broadway to star in the 1996 stage adaptation of "Victor/Victoria." Andrews has also been honored for her work on television, beginning in 1957 with her Emmy-nominated performance in the title role of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical "Cinderella." She later won an Emmy Award for her own musical variety series, "The Julie Andrews Hour," and also earned Emmy nominations for "Julie and Carol at Lincoln Center," with her close friend Carol Burnett, her appearance on "The Andy Williams Show," and her performance in the special "The Sound of Julie Andrews." Andrews' more recent television work includes "Eloise at the Plaza" and "Eloise at Christmastime," and she also starred opposite Christopher Plummer in the CBS production of "On Golden Pond." Andrews received her honours as a Dame of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on New Year's Eve 1999. She was also a 2001 Kennedy Center Honoree. ANTONIO BANDERAS (Puss-in-Boots) gives voice to a swashbuckling Puss In Boots, who first challenges Shrek, but then becomes his friend and ally. Banderas was recently honored with his third Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of the legendary revolutionary Pancho Villa in the HBO movie "And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself." He earned his first Golden Globe nomination for his performance as Ché in the big-screen adaptation of the musical "Evita," opposite Madonna. His second Golden Globe nomination came for his work in the title role of "The Mask of Zorro," with Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones. He will reprise his role in the upcoming sequel "Zorro 2," which reunites the cast and director Martin Campbell. In 2002, Banderas made his Broadway debut in the stage revival of "Nine," which brought him a Tony Award nomination. He also won the Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League and Theatre World Awards for his performance in the show. Born in Malaga, Spain, Banderas studied at the School of Dramatic Art in his hometown before beginning his career on the stage in a local theatre company. In 1981, he moved to Madrid, where he became a member of the prestigious National Theatre of Spain. While still a member of the theatre ensemble, he was cast by writer/director Pedro Almodovar in 1982's "Labyrinth of Passion." It was the first of five films Banderas would do with Almodovar, including "Matador," "Law of Desire," "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" and "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!". Banderas made his American film debut in 1992 as a young Cuban musician in "The Mambo Kings." At the time of his casting, he spoke no English and had to learn all of his lines phonetically. He went on to earn praise in such features as "Philadelphia," "House of the Spirits," "Interview With the Vampire" and "Miami Rhapsody." In 1995, director Robert Rodriguez cast Banderas in "Desperado," opposite Salma Hayek, which marked the actor's first starring role in an American feature. The next year, Banderas starred in Rodriguez's segment of "Four Rooms." The two have since reunited for the smash hit family adventures "Spy Kids," "Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams" and "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over," as well as "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," which was the sequel to "Desperado." In addition, Banderas made a cameo appearance in the acclaimed biopic "Frida," starring Salma Hayek. His other film credits include "Imagining Argentina," "Femme Fatale," "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever," "Original Sin," "Play It to the Bone," "The 13th Warrior," "Assassins," "Two Much" and "Never Talk to Strangers." Behind the camera, Banderas made his feature film directorial debut with "Crazy in Alabama," starring Melanie Griffith. RUPERT EVERETT (Prince Charming) is the voice of Prince Charming, who was intended to be Princess Fiona's intended. Everett began his career on the stage in his native England and had also appeared in a number of films, but it was not until his starring role in 1997's hit comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding" that he gained worldwide stardom. His scene-stealing performance as Julia Roberts' confidant in that film brought him Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominations, as well as American Comedy, Blockbuster Entertainment and London Film Critics Awards for Best Supporting Actor. He earned another Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy for his performance in Oliver Parker's 1999 film version of Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband." In 2002, Everett reunited with Parker to star in the big-screen adaptation of another Oscar Wilde play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," also starring Reese Witherspoon, Judi Dench and Colin Firth. Everett has a number of upcoming films due out in 2004, including "A Different Loyalty," opposite Sharon Stone; Julian Fellowes' "A Way Through the Woods"; and Richard Eyre's "Compleat Female Stage Beauty," produced by Robert De Niro, which will premiere this fall on the closing night of the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival. Everett will also be heard in the animated film "Valiant," to be released in 2005. Previously, Everett had lent his voice to the animated feature "The Wild Thornberrys Movie." His film credits also include "To Kill a King," "Unconditional Love," "The Next Best Thing," opposite Madonna, "Inspector Gadget," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Dunston Checks In" and Robert Altman's "Prêt-à-Porter." In addition, Everett has worked with a number of noted directors on such international releases as Paul Schrader's "The Comfort of Strangers," Pierre-Henry Salfati's "Tolérance," Francesco Rosi's "Chronicle of a Death Foretold," Andrei Konchalovsky's "Duet for One" and Mike Newell's "Dance With a Stranger." One of Everett's first onscreen starring roles was in 1984's "Another Country," in which he reprised the role of Guy Bennett, which he had originated on the London stage. His work in the British theatre also includes "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore," "The Importance of Being Earnest," "Some Sunny Day," "Mass Appeal," "Don Juan" and "Chinchilla." Earlier in his career, he was a member of the avant-garde Citizens Theatre Company of Glasgow, where he appeared in such plays as "The Vortex," "Heartbreak House," "A Waste of Time," "Private Lives," "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and "The White Devil." In addition to his acting, Everett is the author of two successful novels, Hello Darling, Are You Working? and The Hairdresser of St. Tropez. JENNIFER SAUNDERS (The Fairy Godmother) gives voice to a very different Fairy Godmother, who is more interested in making her own wishes come true. Saunders is best known to television audiences on both sides of the Atlantic as the co-creator and star of the hugely successful comedy series "Absolutely Fabulous," nicknamed "Ab Fab" by its loyal fans. Saunders won a BAFTA Award for Best Comedy Series, and received three additional BAFTA Award nominations in the same category. She also earned a BAFTA nomination and two British Comedy Award nominations for her acting work on the show. In addition, Saunders was honored with a Writers Guild of Great Britain Award for "Absolutely Fabulous." Born in England, Saunders attended the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she met Dawn French. Later partnered with French, Saunders began her career as a comedienne, actress and writer at The Comedy Store in London. There she met fellow comedians Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, Alexei Sayle, Peter Richardson and Adrian Edmondson, the last of whom would later become her husband. Richardson later opened his own club, The Comic Strip, where the group quickly became regulars. Soon after, Saunders and the rest of The Comic Strip troupe segued to television, starring in the 1982 series "The Comic Strip presents..." Saunders went on to appear in the series "Girls on Top" and "Happy Families." In 1987, she and Dawn French teamed to write and star in their own show, aptly named "French and Saunders." An instant hit with both critics and audiences, the show brought the writing duo a Writers Guild of Great Britain Award. It was in an episode of "French and Saunders" that the pair introduced a sketch about a neurotic mother and her uptight daughter. When the BBC asked Saunders to come up with a new series idea, she decided to expand on that sketch, making it even broader and more outrageous, and "Absolutely Fabulous" was born. Saunders' additional credits include the films "Muppet Treasure Island," "Spice World," "A Midwinter's Tale" and "Fanny and Elvis." She also starred in the series "Let Them Eat Cake," in addition to having guest roles on such shows as "Friends," and "Roseanne," on an episode she also wrote
