MikeMyers and the cast of ThePentaverate discuss the challenges of playing multiple characters and getting lost in conspiracies in the Netflix series.
That’s the premise of The Pentaverate, the new Netflix limited series that brings Mike Myers back to the screen in multiple roles, including the members of the show’s titular, Illuminati-like organization, as well as the Canadian journalist on a mission to expose them and countless other, wonderfully ridiculous characters.
That praise for Myers’ ability to bounce between multiple characters — a talent on display throughout his career — was echoed by many of West’s fellow Pentaverate cast members, including Community and The Hangover actor Ken Jeong, who plays smarmy casino mogul Skip Cho in the series. “But people being obsessed with conspiracy theories ebbs and flows,” he continued. “At the time I did So I Married An Axe Murderer, they were everywhere. And then that sort of went away. But it’s come back again lately, so my wife was like, ‘You’re so obsessed with the Illuminati, the Masons, all of those things, and you have this idea for a series. Why don’t you pitch it?'”
It appears to have been an inspired pairing, too, as Kirkby indicated that the logistical machinations required to produce the series were a welcome challenge, with each day bringing a new puzzle of sorts to solve. “While we were filming [scenes for] the CanConCon — the Canadian conspiracy theory convention — I saw a sign that said, ‘Do baby pigeons exist?'” recalled West, laughing. “And I just had this moment of thinking, ‘Wait, I’ve never seen a baby pigeon in my whole life. Do they actually exist? Has anyone seen one? Where are the nests?'”
