American Pie meets Eugene Levy receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Eugene Levy was reunited with his American Pie co-star Jason Biggs during the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony 25 years after the original film premiered.
The Emmy Award-winning actor, who was honored in the television category, was also reunited with his Schitt’s Creek on-screen wife, Catherine O’Hara, and his real-life daughter, Sarah Levy, who plays Twyla Sands on the hit TV show.
He and his son Daniel co-created Schitt’s Creek, which first aired in 2015. The show won nine Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, during its television run.
“My son Daniel couldn’t be here today, unfortunately. He’s filming a movie in Bulgaria, and he told me this doesn’t look like a live episode of Schitt’s Creek, but it’s real.
“My second son, Jim, is here, from American Pie, and I love the fact that you’re here, Jason, honestly.”
Levy portrayed Noah Levenstein, the father of American Pie character Bigs Jim, in the 1999 hit film and its sequel.
The Canadian actor also said that his wife Deborah Devine is the funniest member of his family.
He said: “You cannot put your name on a star on Hollywood Boulevard without someone supporting you, and Debs has been supporting me for 47 years. There will be no star without you.”
Regarding his five-decade career, he added: “How rewarding has life been in making people laugh?”
During his career, Levy has starred in hit films, including Cheaper By The Dozen 2 and Father Of The Bride Part II – both with Steve Martin.
