Austin Powers Cast: Where Are They Now?

He passed away at the age of 49 on April 21, 2018. 

He died of suicide by alcohol intoxication and had suffered a long battle with depression. 

He made his debut in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me as Dr. Evil's 'concentrated pure evil' clone. 

Although the character was originally supposed to be killed off at the end of the film, overwhelmingly positive reactions from early test audiences saved the character.

He reprised his role in Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Troyer was born with achondroplasia dwarfism, which caused him to stop growing at 2ft8. 

The actor had reportedly done several stints in rehab as a result of his alcohol problems, which included being hospitalized in April of 2017.

'I've been hearing from some concerned fans, so I'd like to address a very personal situation,' Troyer said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. 

'As you know, I've battled alcohol addiction in the past and while it's not always been an easy fight, I'm willing to continue my fight day by day.' 

Aside from Austin Powers he starred in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and had cameos in Jingle All the Way and Men in Black.

Michael York - Basil Exposition

Michael, now 84, played quintessential British intelligence operative Basil Exposition in all three Austin Powers films.

He also starred as D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers, Brian Roberts in Cabaret, and Logan 5 in the sci-fi classic Logan's Run 

Speaking previously about how he first got involved with the Austin Powers franchise, she told the BBC: 'Well the way that usually happens: you're sent a script and if it appeals to you, you meet the powers involved. 

'Then, of course, Austin Powers was an unknown quantity, it was just a script. I thought there was something delicious about it, and having seen Mike Myers work on Saturday Night Live, I just had a hunch.

'I met with Jay Roach, who then was a first-time director. I liked him enormously. I think there's this great thing about working with first-time directors: they've put so much passion and intensity into the work. Lo and behold, it was a big success and the follow-up, The Spy Who Shagged Me was a huge success.'

He has also previously spoken about what he thinks is the appeal of the films, stating: 'I once tried to analyse it, and I think his appeal is across the board - to children and adults alike.

'He's universal. He's basically naughty but very nice. It was a lot of fun.'

Elizabeth Hurley - Vanessa Kensington

Elizabeth portrayed the role of sexy British agent Vanessa Kensington in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery back in 1997.

But she has since admitted she has reservations about signing up to star in a potential revival of the comedy film series.

The actress, now 61, confessed in 2019 that she's hesitant about reprising her character as she playfully said: 'I don't think anybody wants to run around in costumes we were 20 years ago.'

In the iconic film, the screen star played the daughter of Austin's 1960s sidekick Mrs. Kensington, and eventually tied the knot with the leading spy. 

Sharing her thoughts on whether she'd like to return for a sequel, Liz candidly said: 'I don't know, I don't think anyone wants to step back and create something when they're 20 years older. 

'I think it's OK if something's organically progressed, but I don't think anybody wants to run around in costumes we were 20 years ago.'

After Austin Powers she went on to star in Bedazzled, The Royals, Gossip Girl and most recently Strictly Confidential which was written and directed by her son Damian. 

Robert Wagner - Number 2 (older version)

One snap, shared to her Instagram Stories, showed Wagner blowing out the candles on his two cakes while surrounded by loved ones. 

He was seated next to his grandson Riley, 19, the son of his daughter Katie Wagner, 61, whom he shares with late ex-wife Marion Marshall.
