Dan Levy shot to stardom after starring in the award-winning television series “Schitt’s Creek.” Despite working alongside his famous father, actor Eugene Levy, in the show, it made for one outstanding sitcom. Of course, it wasn’t complete without the superb cast, including Catherina O’Hara, Annie Murphy, Chris Elliot, and Levy’s real-life sister, Sarah Levy.
For “Schitt’s Creek’s” sixth and final season, the actor won four Primetime Emmy Awards for Best Comedy Series, Best Supporting Actor, Best Directing, and Best Writing for a Comedy Series. The show would end up hitting a new record for the most wins in a single season for a comedy series, with Eugene taking home his own Emmy for best actor in a comedy series.

To much surprise, Dan told Page Six that he never asked his famous father for acting advice. “I’ve never really turned to my dad for anything. I think out of fear of the label of nepotism. Entertainment seems to be the only arena where children who pursue the work of their parents, which is an inherently natural thing to do, is met with a lot of skepticism. And so for my whole life, leading up to [‘Schitt’s Creek’], I’ve always tried to do everything on my own, I guess to prove, mainly to myself, that I could do it,” Dan shared, adding that it all changed when he began working side-by-side with his dad on the series.
