Eugene Levy (born December 17, 1946 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a Canadian actor, television director, producer and writer who is best known for his work in Canadian television series and American movies and television series. He studied film at McMaster University and graduated in 1969. He was vice president of the McMaster Film Board, a student film group where he met moviemaker Ivan Reitman.
An alumnus of both Second City Toronto and the classic sketch comedy series SCTV, Levy often plays unusual supporting characters with nerdy streaks. Perhaps his best known role on SCTV was as the dimwitted Earl Camembert, a news anchor for the SCTV News.
Other memorable Levy characterizations were serious comic Bobby Bittman, scandal sheet entrepreneur Dr. Rawl Withers, "report on business" naif Brian Johns, 3-D horror auteur Woody Tobias Jr., cheerful Leutonian accordianist Yosh Schmenge, lecherous dream interpreter Raoul Wilson, hammer-voiced sports broadcaster Lou Jaffe, diminutive union patriarch Sid Dithers, fey current-events commentator Joel Weiss, buttoned-down panel show moderator Dougal Currie, smarmy "Just For Fun" emcee Stan Kanter, energetic used car salesman Al Peck and inept dance show host Rockin' Mel Slirrup.
