As Eugene Levy appeared on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles Friday for his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony, the actor and comedian, 77, acknowledged his American Pie costar Jason Biggs, who was in attendance.
"My son Daniel couldn't be here today, sadly. He's shooting a movie in Bulgaria, and tell me that doesn't sound like an episode right out of Schitt's Creek, but it's true. My second son, Jim, is here, from American Pie," Levy said during his speech.

"If you know me at all, you know just how uncomfortable a day this is for me knowing you have all uprooted your schedules to be here," Levy joked as he addressed the crowd gathered for his ceremony.
"In particular my grandson, my little grandson James — he could be looking at firetrucks right now, but no. He chose to be here, so thank you, Jamesy. Grandpa loves you."
Eugene's real-life son Dan, 40, recently joked during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show that his high school classmates thought the American Pie movies may have been based on his own life given his father's role in the series.
"For most of my high-school life, people thought the movie was, like, a biography of my life," Dan said. "Which is really unfortunate, because I would've killed to have had a life that interesting. There were no pies — I don't even know about the ingredients of an apple pie, but that's a whole other conversation."
