Why 'Schitt's Creek' star Eugene Levy is a 'reluctant' traveller
He famously played a motel co-owner in "Schitt's Creek" and has been able to travel all over the world throughout his acting career, which spans five decades.
Famous for his deadpan delivery, Levy makes no attempt to even pretend that he's getting any enjoyment out of many of the experiences, which involve going dog-sledding, visiting the rainforest and even taking a stool sample from an elephant.He describes a night hike through the Costa Rican rainforest as one of the "least pleasant" moments captured for the cameras, explaining that "the creepy crawly aspect" was particularly off putting.
"They said, 'That's it. That's the show,'" he explains, before stressing that he's aware that being able to go to places that many people could only dream of is "kind of a great job," and he feels lucky to have been able to do it. However, Levy admits that he enjoyed visiting Finland far more than he expected to, and found the outdoor activities, particularly driving a dog sled team across a frozen lake, as "exhilarating."
He explains that Divine, as well as Sarah and his son Dan Levy, who both starred alongside him in "Schitt's Creek," love to "get out and see new things and try new things" while he "kind of lags behind a bit."According to Levy, "laying out on a beach chair" in the French Riviera or Hawaii while sipping on a cool drink is "more up my alley."
