Mike Myers makes a brief but notable appearance in the new Michael Jackson biopic, marking a return to the screen after several years.
In Michael, a film that traces the rise of Michael Jackson, Myers takes on the role of real life CBS Records executive Walter Yetnikoff. The 62 year old actor is almost unrecognizable in the part, appearing in a key scene alongside Jackson, portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson, and music lawyer John Branca, played by Miles Teller. The scene focuses on efforts to secure airplay for "Thriller" and other groundbreaking music videos on MTV, a pivotal moment in Jackson's career.
Yetnikoff, who led CBS Records from 1975 to 1990, played a significant role during the peak of Jackson's success in the 1980s. He passed away in 2021 at the age of 87, leaving behind a legacy tied closely to some of the biggest artists of that era.
