Annie Murphy was convinced she didn't get Schitt's Creek role when Dan Levy called: 'Please put me out of my misery'

Annie Murphy and Dan Levy played siblings on 'Schitt's Creek,' but Levy played a brotherly prank when informing Murphy she landed the role.

In a recent episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Murphy recalled the audition process for Schitt's Creek, during which she tried out for ditzy daughter Alexis and grumpy motel front desk clerk Stevie. The opportunity to work on Schitt's Creek came to Murphy at a difficult time in her life when she had doubted her future in Hollywood and grappled with losing her home in Toronto. Murphy said she fell into a sibling dynamic with Levy, who plays her on-screen brother David, immediately, adding that doing the show was so fun, she hopes for a possible Schitt's Creek movie one day.
