Hey there! Let's talk about one of Hollywood's most beloved families: Eugene Levy and his two incredible children, Dan Levy and Sarah Levy. Eugene, the charming and hilarious dad we all adore, has built an amazing bond with his kids, both on-screen and in real life. Married to his sweetheart, Deborah Divine, since 1977, Eugene shares two wonderfully talented offspring who have made their mark in the entertainment world. Now, let's dive into their story.
Though Eugene may be known for his funny side while working alongside Dan and Sarah on the hit TV show "Schitt's Creek," he wasn't always the jokester at home. In fact, the iconic actor confessed to People magazine back in January 2019 that he was quite the strict father during his children's upbringing. "If they crossed the line, there was definitely going to be some form of punishment," Eugene explained. "That's how I was raised, and that's how I raised my kids." It's fascinating to see how Eugene balanced being a loving father while maintaining a firm hand when needed.
Meet Dan Levy: The Multi-Talented Star
Dan Levy, Eugene's firstborn, came into the world on August 9, 1983. Growing up in Toronto, Dan carved out an impressive career in the entertainment industry. His journey began as a cohost on the Canadian version of MTV Live. Later, he took on multiple roles, including writing, hosting, and producing, on shows like The After Show, The Hills: The After Show, and The City: Live After Show, per IMDb. Dan's journey in the entertainment world didn't stop there—he ventured into acting, making his debut in Degrassi Goes Hollywood in 2009.

From there, Dan's career skyrocketed with appearances in various TV shows and films, including Cyberstalker in 2012, Admission in 2013, Robot Bullies in 2017, and Modern Family in 2018. However, it was his work on Schitt's Creek that truly cemented his place in the industry. Running from 2015 to 2020, Schitt's Creek not only showcased Dan's immense talent as an actor but also highlighted his skills as a producer. Playing David Rose, Johnny Rose's son, alongside his father Eugene, Dan created a dynamic that resonated deeply with audiences.
When the curtain fell on Schitt's Creek in April 2020, the Levy family had amassed an impressive collection of awards. The show received numerous accolades, including several Emmys and a Golden Globe. Eugene couldn't contain his pride when speaking about working alongside his children. "Getting to work with both Daniel and Sarah on camera for six years was such a joy," Eugene expressed during the Emmy Awards in September 2020. "I couldn't be prouder of both of you."
Not content to rest on his laurels, Dan ventured into directing with his 2023 film, Good Grief, a deeply personal project. "I lost my grandmother during the pandemic, and I was dealing with a profound sense of loss," Dan revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It was hard to feel the specificity of loss when all I was feeling was grief. This movie was a way to honor her memory while exploring universal themes of loss and healing."
In August 2024, Dan and Eugene announced their partnership in hosting the 2024 Emmy Awards. "We're thrilled to celebrate this incredible season of television," they said in a statement. "It's an honor to host such a prestigious event, and we can't wait to share this unforgettable evening with everyone."
