Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell in Wayne's World

Wayne Campbell is the host of local cable access show Wayne’s World with best friend Garth Algar. It’s party time, excellent! So when he’s discovered by TV executive Rob Lowe (of course), his rise to the top is peppered with drama, betrayal, and an ending worthy of any Scooby-Doo episode. Don’t get it? Are you mental? Totally!

Next came another blockbuster turn as the gentle green giant Shrek. What’s on deck for Myers and his million-dollar franchises? He’s directing his first documentary feature Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon which is premiering at SXSW in March.

Tia Carrere as Cassandra Wong in Wayne’s World

“Oh, yes, she will be mine,” says a smitten Wayne when he first sees Cassandra jamming onstage. Tia Carrere starred as Cassandra Wong, Wayne’s magically babelicious love interest. The frontwoman of the band Crucial Taunt, Carrere rocks a bass player and some seriously big hair. Schwing!

Brian Doyle-Murray as Noah Vanderhoff in Wayne’s World

Brian Doyle-Murray stars as Noah Vanderhoff, the ill-fated sponsor of Wayne’s revamped, studio-shot Wayne’s World. A little advice, Noah? When your host is known for mocking his guests and asks you to be on the show, you might want to refuse. Unless you enjoy being dubbed “Sphincter Boy” for all to see.

Donna Dixon as Dreamwoman in Wayne’s World

Donna Dixon’s Dreamwoman was the epitome of Garth’s idealization of womanhood—because aren’t doughnut shops around the nation filled with supermodels who shill pastry while posing in a wind tunnel? In the end, wind power wins out and our sweet, follicle-challenged Garth gets his dream woman.

Donna Dixon—Today

Donna Dixon’s obviously shared Dreamwoman’s penchant for funnymen: The model/actress has been married to legendary comedian Dan Aykroyd since 1983. She has moved between TV and film work, often appearing alongside her husband. Dixon has also been busy raising three children and—apparently—teaching the rest of us how to age gracefully.

Meat Loaf as Tiny in Wayne’s World

Wayne’s World was filled with cameos—hi, security guard Chris Farley—but perhaps none was more hilarious than rock music legend Meat Loaf filling in as a club bouncer. He shoots, he scores! Because with a bouncer like Tiny, would you ever consider leaving early?

Meat Loaf—Today

Wayne’s World was just another gig in Meat Loaf's acting career. He’s appeared regularly on TV, with spots on Nash Bridges and, lately, Monk and Glee. Recent roles for Meat Loaf include films Snitch and A White Trash Christmas, which is a colorful take on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Ed O’Neill as Glen in Wayne’s World

Ed O’Neill played Glen, the manager of Stan Mikita’s Donuts, the local hangout in Wayne’s hometown. O’Neill, who played the middle-aged curmudgeon with Vietnam flashbacks perfectly, gave us a new understanding of darkness. As he relays, “Yeah, I know what you'd like to do. You'd like to find the guy who did it, rip his still beating heart out of his chest, and hold it in front of his face so he can see how black it is before he dies.” Scarily played, sir.

Ed O’Neill—Today

Veteran actor Ed O’Neill has kept busy in the 20 years since he made us rethink our love of doughnuts. Already starring on the long-running TV hit Married with Children, O’Neill went on to appear in shows such as The West Wing and John from Cincinnati. Today he’s charming us as the crotchety-yet-lovable patriarch of the Pritchett family on the Emmy-winning Modern Family. And points to O’Neill for changing the most in 20 years—are those brown eyes we see in his first photo?

Ione Skye as Elyse in Wayne’s World

Ione Skye lent her loveliness to Wayne’s World as Elyse, the small-town girlfriend who originally introduces Rob Lowe’s TV executive to Wayne’s World. All hail Ione, for it’s not many women who can lie in bed next to a vintage Rob Lowe and still look awesome.

Dana Carvey as Garth Algar in Wayne’s World

As Garth Algar, Dana Carvey brought us to a frightening new understanding of haystack blond wigs paired with granny frames. Schwing? In the end, Wayne’s sidekick and cohost helps Wayne keep it real while wooing his own dream woman—none other than Mrs. Dan Aykroyd, Donna Dixon.

Dana Carvey—Today

Considered one of Saturday Night Live’s most talented former cast member, Carvey has kept busy since his days as Garth. He’s gone on to make several TV appearances, even hosting The Dana Carvey Show in 1996. He appeared in Adam Sandler’s Jack and Jill as—what else?—a crazy puppeteer.

Lara Flynn Boyle as Stacy in Wayne’s World

Lara Flynn Boyle gave new meaning to the psycho ex-girlfriend as Wayne’s scorned lover. But even with her crazy eyes and high ponytails, did Stacy ever really do so wrong by her man? Doesn’t everyone construct homemade gun racks for their ex-boyfriends?

Rob Lowe as Benjamin Kane in Wayne’s World

As smarmy television executive Benjamin Kane, Rob Lowe offered Wayne and Garth the world—and then behaves like a true Sphincter Boy. So who better to play the gorgeous-with-a-side-of-evil Kane than 1990s bad boy Rob Lowe? And is it possible that Lowe has actually grown more handsome in the past 20 years? Only the devil and Mr. Kane may know.

Rob Lowe—Today

Rob Lowe may have torn up the 1980s as the hottest member of the Brat Pack, but he has spent much of the decades since dominating TV. With multiple credits each year, he’s most recently appeared as a regular on The West Wing, Dr. Vegas, Brothers & Sisters, and Californication. He was a recurring character on Parks and Recreation and is slated to appear in the TV miniseries To Appomattox as Ulysses S. Grant.
