Interview: 'Daniel Levy' Talks Schitt's Creek

Daniel Levy is the son of Eugene Levy and the co-creator of the new show ‘Schitt’s Creek’ on Pop Wednesday nights. We talked about the show and about being Eugene’s son.

When filthy-rich video store magnate Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy), his soap star wife Moira (Catherine O’Hara), and their two kids – über-hipster son David (Dan Levy) and socialite daughter Alexis (Annie Murphy) – suddenly find themselves broke, they are forced to live in a small, depressing town they once bought as a joke. With their pampered lives now abandoned, they must confront their newfound poverty and discover what it means to be a family, all within the rural city limits of Schitt’s Creek, their new home. SCHITT’S CREEK is a character-driven, half-hour single-camera comedy co-created by Eugene Levy and Dan Levy.

DAVID ROSE (Daniel Levy), 29, Johnny and Moira’s too-cool-for-school, hipster son. Once a fixture on the American avant-garde art scene, thanks primarily to his father’s financial support, David developed a cultural superiority complex that is made no more apparent than in his dealings with the townspeople of Schitt’s Creek.
