Eugene Levy's daughter, Sarah Levy, works in the entertainment industry too and she also got the chance to act alongside her father and brother in "Schitt's Creek." Eugene and Dan Levy approached her about taking part in the show early on, and she happily accepted the part. As Sarah told TV, Eh? "The opportunity to work with my family seemed a really wonderful thing. And we obviously had no idea where it would go, but I went along for the ride gladly."
In "Schitt's Creek," real-life father and son Eugene and Dan play TV father and son, Johnny and David Rose. Sarah plays Twyla, a waitress at the town's local (and seemingly only) restaurant and a friend to Alexis Rose, sister of David and daughter of Johnny. Dan is also a writer and producer on the show and even directed some episodes. Eugene admitted that he was apprehensive at first, due to being unsure if Dan had the skills to make the show a success.
But Dan quickly proved himself with both his writing and acting abilities. During a chat with Forbes, Eugene explained, "I always knew he was talented because I watched him on MTV for eight years up in Canada and he had a great presence on live TV ... But a weekly half-hour comedy is a different kind of animal and he proved early on that boy he's going to be a great partner on this."
