Mike Myers first wanted Jim Carrey to play Dr. Evil but they couldn’t figure out how to get past scheduling conflicts. Carrey was already filming Liar Liar which was also a box office smash.
Since Myers had a specific vision for how the character would look and act, he decided to not cast anyone for the role and did it himself. It leaves us wondering how different the Austin Powers movies would’ve been with Jim Carrey tormenting the world as Dr. Evil.
