Pete's Meteor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pete's Meteor is an Irish drama film released in 1998. It was written and directed by Joe O'Byrne and stars Mike Myers in his first dramatic role.
Mike Myers plays a drug dealer living in the slums of Dublin. He tries to financially provide for the three children of his dead brother. The children's lives are forever changed when a meteor crashes into their backyard.
Myers studied with a linguistic coach to affect an Irish accent for this film. His first attempts, he revealed in an interview on The Daily Show, sounded more like Lucky the Leprechaun than a true Irish dialect, particularly once he was acting in scenes with genuine Irish actors. The young actor portraying his brother was brutally honest: "It's crap!"
