Dan Levy Says Canada Saw the Magic in ‘Schitt’s Creek’ First!
- What’s Inside: Dan Levy’s big award win.
- Why Canada rocks for queer talent.
- His thoughts on success.
We just saw the amazing Dan Levy get a special award for LGBTQ+ cinema and television. He was super happy, of course! But he also got real.
He talked about how Canada really believed in ‘Schitt’s Creek’ from the start. It’s like they saw the warm, funny, and sometimes a little quirky aesthetic of the show. They knew it was special before anyone else.
Dan said that the industry sometimes thinks it knows what people want. But then something like ‘Schitt’s Creek’ comes along and shows them. It proves you need to invest in different voices. Especially queer voices.
It’s inspiring to hear him say, “Canada saw value in them first.” It’s a great reminder that great ideas can come from anywhere. And supporting new perspectives is key.
Our Take
We love hearing Dan Levy speak his truth! It’s so important that people in power recognize and support queer talent. Canada showing that vision early on is fantastic. We need more of that everywhere.
