Daniel Levy
Eugene’s first child, Dan, was born on August 9, 1983. After growing up in Toronto, Dan started his TV career as a cohost of MTV Live in Canada. Per IMDb, he then cowrote, cohosted and coproduced The After Show, as well as The Hills: The After Show and The City: Live After Show.
In 2009, Dan made his acting debut in Degrassi Goes Hollywood. He later appeared in 2012’s Cyberstalker, 2013’s Admission, 2017’s Robot Bullies and 2018’s Modern Family. He’s best known for starring in and producing Schitt’s Creek, which ran from 2015 to 2020. He appeared alongside Eugene as character Johnny Rose’s TV son, David Rose.
Schitt’s Creek is off the air as the series ended in April 2020, but Eugene, Dan and Sarah have an impressive list of awards to go along with their roles. Throughout the show’s six seasons, Schitt’s Creek won several Emmys, one Golden Globe and countless other prestigious accolades. While appearing on stage during the Emmy Awards in September 2020, Eugene marveled over the opportunity to act with his children.
“As a dad, getting to work on camera for six years with both my kids, Daniel and Sarah … [is] such a joy,” he gushed. “I love you both and could not be prouder.”
Dan made his directorial debut in December 2023 with the film Good Grief, a deeply personal project for him.
“I lost my grandmother toward the tail end of the pandemic, and I was in a very strange headspace in terms of feeling the weight and the profound sense of tragedy of what the COVID pandemic had done for all of us, while at the same time trying to honor the passing of someone who meant so much to me,” he shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly ahead of the film’s release. “It was hard for me to feel the specificity of loss when all I was feeling was grief for so long. It was that conversation that really expedited the concept of the movie.”
