Dan Levy's Outrageous Fortune

THE SCHITT'S CREEK FUNNYMAN IS GAMBLING ON A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH HIS BOLD NEW MOVIE ABOUT THE NATURE OF GRIEF - AND WONDERING WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

Dan Levy just pulled the Wheel of Fortune card. The Canadian actor—best known as David Rose on the beloved 2015-2020 sitcom Schitt’s Creek — recently made his feature directorial debut with the Netflix drama Good Grief. Now he’s having his tarot cards read in West Hollywood.

“I don’t worry about the future,” Levy, 40, says.

“I am a worrier about the present.” Luckily one of his closest friends, Trevor Ballin, is a reader. (“Dan is actually a little bit psychic,” Ballin says later when Levy is out of earshot.)

“Every six months I get my cards read,” Levy says. “It’s a recalibration of where I’m headed.” Where Levy is headed, Ballin says, is up—and over a little, toward love. “There is tremendous possibility right now,” Ballin tells him. “Savor this moment. And take a break.” He pulls another card: “This is the year you’ll meet someone.”

But first Levy may have to take a moment to breathe. “I think I’m just preprogrammed to work. And I’m only now freeing up some space to, hopefully, meet somebody,” he says, pushing up his thick black frames. “The cards are screaming at me, ‘You’re gonna win big! Accept any and all dates!’” He pauses with a chuckle. “Cut to me as the next Bachelor.”
