Biography – A Short Wiki
Eugene Levy is a Canadian actor, comedian, singer, and writer who has a net worth of $30 million. Eugene Levy is probably most famous for appearing in the “American Pie” movie franchise and the television series “Schitt’s Creek”. He co-created Schitt’s Creek with his son Dan Levy, who also stars in the show.
Career
From 1972-1973, Eugene Levy was involved in the Toronto production of the hit musical “Godspell” at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. This fateful musical ended up launching the careers of many actors, entirely local performers including the likes of Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, and several others, including the show’s musical director, none other than Paul Shaffer. After the production became overwhelmingly popular, the show moved uptown to the Bayview Playhouse in Leaside. Intended to only be a handful of performances at first, the popular show ended up running for a then-record of 488 performances.
Personal Life
Eugene has been married to writer Deborah Divine since 1977. They split their time between Los Angeles, Florida, and Canada. In addition to son Dan, they have a daughter named Sarah, who also plays the character of Twyla on “Schitt’s Creek”. He was extremely close friends with the late actor John Candy. Eugene and Dan’s “Schitt’s Creek” co-star Catherine O’Hara is a very close friend to the Levy family, and Eugene and Catherine have been co-stars for numerous years on various projects.
