shared that he recently reunited with the cast of _A Mighty Wind_ to celebrate its 20th anniversary and in a new interview, Levy says that those films are likely done. “Our last one was _For
Your Consideration_ back in 2006,” Levy told _The Guardian_. “Our fake documentaries — Chris [Guest] always hated the term ‘mockumentary’ because we’re not mocking, it’s more affectionate
than that — but they were getting a little cookie-cutter in terms of story. Everything was kind of the same, except we just changed the subject. At a certain point, that becomes predictable.
In the interim, so many television shows have picked up that form and just destroyed it.” Levy also shared that he is thankful that he is no longer recognized for _American Pie_ after the
success of _Schitt’s Creek_. WATCH ON DEADLINE “All over the world. People came up and talked about the show in pretty much any location we visited,” he says of the series where he played
Johnny Rose and adding, “The _American Pie_ thing got a bit tedious. People would bring me apple pie every time I went into a restaurant or to a wedding. Which is kind of funny, but it did
happen a lot.” 10 Comments JavaScript is required to load the comments. MARKETPLACE SITE ad
