Even if you're not a Schitt's Creek acolyte, there's a good chance you're familiar with one of the show's stars, Eugene Levy. Prior to his role as Rose family patriarch Johnny Rose, Eugene was best known to audiences as a staple character actor in a slew of director Christopher Guest's mockumentary comedy classics like Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show. But perhaps Eugene's most well-recognized role was that of Jason Bigg's father in the teen sex comedy American Pie. (And yes, he's the dad with the eyebrows, in case you were wondering.)

But Eugene, who co-created Schitt's Creek with his son, entertainment industry polymath Dan Levy, has most likely usurped his previous Hollywood legacy with his recent Emmy wins — and his daughter, Sarah Levy, has played an integral part in it, all the while staking a claim on her own corner of comedy history. 

While Sarah's brother Dan might have technically had a foothold in the entertainment industry earlier than his sister — most notably as a Canadian television personality for shows like Canada's MTV Live — it was Sarah who was more classically trained in the realm of acting, attending Dalhousie University to study theater. Though the actress had bit parts in movies like 2011's Larry Crowne, it wasn't until Schitt's Creek that she finally got her big break.
