SYNOPSIS 
You know and love these iconic comedy legends from hilarious classics Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mightly Wind. Now, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are back as a once-wealthy couple who have lost their fortune and have to rough it with their family in tow, living out of a motel in Schitt’s Creek — a town they once bought as a joke.

Eugene Levy has appeared in more than 60 motion pictures to date, seven of which having topped the $100M mark. His box office success in films like Bringing Down The House, Cheaper By the Dozen 2 and Father Of The Bride Part II have established him as one of Hollywood’s most popular comedic actors.

Partnering with Christopher Guest, Levy earned critical acclaim for co-writing and co-starring in Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman, For Your Consideration and A Mighty Wind.

His next major film role is the voice of Dory’s Dad in the Disney Pixar feature Finding Dory with Ellen DeGeneres.

In 2013, Levy formed Not A Real Company Productions (with his son Daniel Levy and principals Andrew Barnsley and Fred Levy) to produce Schitt’s Creek, a television series for Pop and CBC/ITV he co-created, co-executive produced and co-starred in with Daniel Levy.
