!! Related Tropes & Trivia:
* ActorInspiredElement: Is a big fan of Music/MariahCarey, going so far as to making David Rose a superfan of hers as well, and has been [[https://youtu.be/2NgIRrrlGbw thrilled]] when the singer has tweeted positively about ''Schitt's Creek''.
* AuthorAvatar: David Rose and Stevie Budd represent various aspects of Levy's own personality.
* BigOlEyebrows: Runs in the Levy family.
* CopiouslyCreditedCreator: Created and stars in ''Schitt's Creek'' with his father, and he also is the ShowRunner, writer, producer and sometimes director. He collaborates closely on the costume design with Deb Hanson and meticulously supervises the art direction as well as supervising the publicity for the show.
* DirectedByCastMember: Co-directed ''Series/SchittsCreek''[='=]s ChristmasEpisode and the Season 5 Finale with film school friend Andrew Cividino. Directed the Season 6 premiere by himself. Won a 2020 Emmy Award for direction with Cividino for the SeriesFinale.
* TheFashionista: Levy admits he's not as bold in his personal fashion choices as his character, but he still qualifies as TheDandy. His love of fashion has become a key part of how he tells his show's story.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: Dan and his father are both known for wearing dramatic eyewear in real life, but the characters they play on ''Schitt's Creek'' do not wear glasses, making it easy to distinguish pictures of the real father and son and their fictional counterparts.
* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: Not only appeared on Franchise/{{Degrassi}} himself, but casts multiple veterans of the show on ''Schitts Creek''.
* OldShame: Pre-''Schitt's Creek'', he appeared as a villainous stalker in a LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek, an experience which he found cringe-y and terrible. He did, however, use it for inspiration when writing about Moira's career.
* ThePerfectionist: Self-describes as one of these.
* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Levy is gay, and he plays pansexual David Rose. He also plays the gay character John in ''Happiest Season''.
* RealLifeRelative: Not only works with Eugene, but his sister Sarah Levy plays Twyla on ''Series/SchittsCreek.''
