Mike Myers Extends Comedy Hiatus, Joins ‘Inglorious Bastards’ Cast

4:05AM STV | Overbearing hype aside, Inglorious Bastards really wouldn’t be a Quentin Tarantino film unless he revived at least one moribund career in the process. Enter Mike Myers, who is now confirmed to play British Gen. Ed Fenech, “a military mastermind who takes part in hatching a plot to wipe out Nazi leaders.” It’s a relatively small part, we’re now told, with Fenech featured on only seven pages — 29 lines total — recruiting a Nazi killer reportedly tailored for Simon Pegg, who has yet to be officially attached.
