  • Dan Levy & Kieran Culkin join "Variety Studios: Actors on Actors" #AtHome where they discuss the similar tie between their shows. Wealth operates as a major tie between the two shows -- something Levy acknowledges saying, "Schitt's Creek" would be similar to "Succession" if the Roy family lost all of their money and had to start over completely.

    I love that Kieran is honest enough to basically be like "during season 1 I thought the show was cool and I was doing my job but I didn't care about those characters" because tbh I felt that way as well. I thought the show was well written, well acted but I kept thinking "these people are all assholes and I do not care what happens to them". And he's right: it all changed and something clicked during the 2nd season. They're still assholes but I CARE about those assholes now. This show became one of my favorites and I'm excited for season 3. Tell me what you think !

      I 1000% agree with your point! I just finish binge watching the show after I saw how many Emmy nominations it received and while watching season 1 I was like meh, why should I care about another rich family and like is this Empire but white? I wanted to stop watching but I stayed for the incredible dialogue and performances. But yeah everything changed in season 2, the stakes felt higher, the emotions felt more raw and every episode felt like there was a bomb waiting to explode, you could literally cut the tension with a knife! It's such a brilliant show and I can't wait for season 3!

    I’ve never liked a show as much as Schitt’s Creek.

    I’ve never known love as free to grow as when I’m watching it.
    It’s not been an easy few months for any of us, but knowing that it will always be there for us makes everything ok.
    Thanks to Dan, Eugene and all the cast, crew and writers for creating this perfect gem of a show that has shown us how beautiful the world could be. We will forever be indebted to them for the joy they have given us in 22 minute segments
    Dan will never truly understand what he has given us or how much his beautiful creation has meant to us.

    The reason I started watching Succession was Kieran, and I've been well rewarded. The show was great, but usually I don't watch things where all the characters are that awful. Kieran gave Roman such depth and pathos, just as he did with Igby. I, too, can't count how many times I've see that brilliant little film. It so perfectly captures that world-class world I know too well and loathe. And Dan is so very funny and smart. Lots of IQ in this one!

There isnt a character I can pinpoint as my fave on Schitt’s Creek because I truly love them all! My son calls me Moira a lot because of my “dramatics” & linguistics lol! It’s only a compliment to me. And Succession I can’t get enough of, it’s bloody brilliant & I cant get enough of it!!! 🖤👏🖤👏🖤👏🖤

And here he is as an adult doing all the things. it also reminds me of an interview with Alan Thicke, another Canadian actor, who talked about how Americans were surprised at the breadth of his skill set, but he said that it was from his experience working on low budget Canadian productions where you got to step in and do stuff because there was no one else to do it.

    This interview is so illuminating, I am absolutely fascinated. There are certain things that someone not familiar with the industry wouldn't think to ask (as a fan at a convention, I sometimes struggle to think about an interesting question that doesn't dive too deep into the minutiae of a show that the actors were finished with several months, if not years ago) and certain things that an actor would answer another actor more honestly. (though I really had to sideeye Culkin for his admission that he casually tells raunchy jokes and gropes his female acting partner WITHOUT clearing it with her beforehand - that slides into harassment territory really fast).
