While on a golf trip with Mike Myers, actor Rob Lowe did a spot on impersonation of Robert Wagner (who was playing Number Two in the Austin Powers series). Myers was so impressed that he decided to create a character for him.
Just a couple of months after the golf trip, Lowe received a script for The Spy Who Shagged Me. He was already written into the script as the young Number Two. At that time Lowe wasn’t getting too many calls for work and his schedule was fairly open. Fans are thankful that it was.
Find out who was supposed to play Scott Evil, but that actor turned it down. No regrets, I guess?
