Not quite,Dan Levy! TheSchitt’s Creekstar just attempted to sketch the Rose family’s portrait for PEOPLE’s Drawing from Memory challenge — and it went okay-ish.
However,The Idolactor misplaces his fictional parents, misremembers a few outfit details and completely forgets the “kind of stunning” headpiece on costarAnnie Murphy.
“We’ll fix it all in post,” says Levy, 40, pressing the real photo over his drawing.
In the critically acclaimed comedy, which turns 13 this year, Levy’s fictional family of four — comprised of real-life dadEugene Levy,Catherine O’Haraand Murphy — are formerly rich and privileged. After losing their wealth, they have to haul the supersized family portrait into a tiny motel, despite the picture’s dimensions exceeding the doorframe.
How it fit through the entrance “was magic,” Dan says.
“That, I think, is one of the lovely gifts we gave our audience,” Dan jokes. “Stumping them on how it happened.”
Later, PEOPLE prompted the filmmaker to draw his favorite costar from any project, to his astonishment. “All of them,” he writes on a generic silhouette, which he drew his father’s iconic eyebrows over.
TheGood Griefwriter and director recently revealed that Eugene’s role asJason Biggs’ father inAmerican Piecaused people to misconstrue that the film was based on his experience parenting Dan. The 1999 coming-of-age comedy depicts a group of teens on a mission to lose their virginity before graduation.
“For most of my high-school life, people thought the movie was, like, a biography of my life,” Dansaid onThe Kelly Clarkson Show. “Which is really unfortunate, because I would’ve killed to have had a life that interesting.”
Still,the Emmy winnerhas been able to draw from his life experiences in creating his latest Netflix filmGood Grief.
Good Griefis now streaming on Netflix.
