Mike Myers to Play Who Drummer

Canadian actor Mike Myers has agreed to play Keith Moon, the drummer of the rock group The Who, in his next film.

The star of the Austin Powers films has joined the cast of the film See Me Feel Me (Keith Moon Naked for Pleasure), which should be in theatres in 2009.

The project’s co-producer, Nigel Sinclair, confirmed that Myers will be a part of the production, and added that Roger Daltrey, the singer for The Who, was also happy that Myers will play Moon.  Sinclair explained, "Roger’s dream was to have Mike as the creative force to pull the project together."

Keith Moon was considered to be one of the most original and unusual drummers in the history of rock and roll.  He died at the age of 32 after overdosing on medication that had been prescribed to treat his alcoholism.
