Introduction
Schitt’s Creek is a CBC sitcom that follows the lives of a wealthy family who suddenly loses everything and has to move to the titular town in rural Canada. It stars Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Daniel Levy, and Annie Murphy as Johnny Rose, Moira Rose, David Rose, and Alexis Rose, respectively. The series has been renewed for two more seasons with plans for another after that!
Eugene Levy
You’ve probably heard of Eugene Levy by now. He’s a Canadian actor and director with a long career in film and TV shows like Schitt’s Creek and American Pie. But you may not have realized that Eugene Levy is also the father of Daniel Levy (David Rose) and Sarah Levy (Alexis Rose).
This makes sense if you look at their family tree: Daniel’s daughter, Alexis, plays his fictional daughter on screen; Sarah plays her sister, Johnny. It also turns out that Mike Smith (Patrick Rose), who played David in seasons 1-3 before being written out for budgetary reasons, was married to Genevieve Allison (Zoey). The latter played Alexis’ best friend, Emily VanCamp until she left after season 3 due to a lack of material for her character.

A lot!
The Schitt’s Creek family consists of members who are related. They are a cast but also a family. The actors on the show are related to each other, and they play fictionalized versions of themselves as members of the Schitt’s Creek family — Catherine O’Hara (Moira), Eugene Levy (David), Dan Levy (Andy), Annie Murphy (Rae), Sarah Levy (Emma) and Chris Elliott (Johnny).
Eugene Levy and Dan Levy created the show, and much like the characters in it, both have had successful careers outside their current roles as creators on Schitt’s Creek. Eugene had been acting since he was 11 years old, appearing in films such as Ghostbusters, American Pie 2, and A Mighty Wind with his father, comedian/actor Alan Arkin before landing this lead role in 1994’s Waiting for Guffman as Corky St. Clair. This part earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. His son Dan has also appeared in films alongside his dad, including Best In Show which won him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special Program Or Series alongside Jim Abrahmsen; Something About Mary; Starsky & Hutch; Back To School; Uncle Buck; North Shore; Pearl Harbor; Austin Powers: Goldmember and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp where he played Nick Jones!
