- Production manager — Search for Tomorrow, The Edge of Night

Eugene Levy and Deborah Divine’s Children
Eugene Levy and Deborah Divine have two children, not three.
Dan Levy
Dan Levy was born in 1983 in Toronto.
He co-created Schitt’s Creek with his father. In the show, he played David Rose, the son of Eugene Levy’s character, Johnny Rose.
Dan Levy and his father later made history as the first father-son duo to host the Emmy Awards, at the 76th Emmy Awards in 2024.
Sarah Levy
Sarah Levy was born in 1986 in Toronto.
She played Twyla Sands, the owner of Café Tropical, in Schitt’s Creek.
Her first on-screen appearance was alongside her father in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005).
The Levy Family in Schitt’s Creek
Schitt’s Creek ran from 2015 to 2020. Eugene Levy co-created it with Dan Levy and starred as Johnny Rose.
Dan Levy played David Rose. Sarah Levy played Twyla Sands.
Deborah Divine did not act in the series. Her connection to the show was as a creative consultant and as the family’s off-screen support.
This often causes confusion. Catherine O’Hara played Moira Rose, Johnny Rose’s wife on screen. O’Hara is not Eugene Levy’s real-life wife.
Eugene Levy thanked Deborah Divine in his 2020 Emmy acceptance speech for her love, support and counsel over their years together.
Who Is Eugene Levy?
Eugene Levy was born on December 17, 1946, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
He is a Canadian actor, comedian, writer, director and producer.
His career includes:
- SCTV (Second City Television), 1976 to 1984, where he won two Primetime Emmy Awards for writing
- The American Pie film series, starting in 1999, as Noah Levenstein, Jim’s father
- Christopher Guest’s mockumentaries, including Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind
- Schitt’s Creek (2015–2020), as Johnny Rose, co-created with Dan Levy
The old article wrongly described Eugene Levy as the son of Andrea Martin and as born on December 17, 1961. Andrea Martin was his SCTV colleague, not his mother. December 17, 1946 is Eugene Levy’s birth date.
