Eugene Levy was born on December 17, 1946, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He is a Canadian actor, comedian, writer, director, musician, and producer. Raised in a Jewish family, Levy's father worked as a foreman at an automobile plant, while his mother was a homemaker. He attended Westdale Secondary School before studying at McMaster University, where he began developing his interests in performance and satire. Early on, Levy showcased his comedic talent by impersonating celebrities such as Howard Cosell, Tony Dow, Lorne Greene, and Ernest Borgnine. His professional career in the entertainment industry began in 1969 and has continued to flourish ever since.
Levy is perhaps best known for his role as Noah Levenstein, the well-meaning but awkward father, in all eight installments of the American Pie film series. He remains the only actor to appear in all entries of the franchise, making him a key figure in its ongoing success. Known for playing quirky or nerdy characters, Levy often draws humor from uncomfortable situations and his characters’ over-the-top yet sincere explanations or reactions.
In recognition of his contributions to Canadian and international entertainment, Levy was honored with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in 2008, Canada’s highest distinction in the performing arts. On June 30, 2011, he was appointed to the Order of Canada. As of recent estimates, Eugene Levy’s net worth is approximately $15 million.
Eugene Levy married Deborah Divine in 1977, not 1917 as previously stated. The couple has two children, Dan and Sarah Levy, both of whom have followed in their father's footsteps into the entertainment industry. While there were adjustments during their move to Los Angeles, there is no verified public information suggesting significant marital problems. Levy and his wife have remained married for over four decades.
Levy is also a dedicated advocate for autism awareness and treatment, supporting initiatives for better understanding of this neurodevelopmental condition, which affects communication and behavior. One of his close friends, actor and comedian John Candy, sadly died of a heart attack in 1994.
