The Canadian comedian and Hollywood star, known for classic roles like Wayne Campbell, Austin Powers, Dr. Evil and Shrek, will pick up the Icon Award, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television said on Wednesday. Myers, who's a U.S. citizen, in April 2025 appeared alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a TV ad (pictured above) where he wore a jersey that read "Never 51," in response to U.S. president Donald Trump's 51st state taunts against Canada. Myers, a Saturday Night Live alum, also returned to the NBC sketch comedy series to wear a "Canada is not for sale" T-shirt.
