Away From Acting, Dana Carvey Raised His Sons Dex and Thomas
The late ’90s “SNL” star had a successful career, but he chose to leave the spotlight to devote himself to his family and assist in raising his two sons, Dex and Thomas, with his wife, Paula.
“I have friends who get stressed about fading or not being as hot,” Dana said in a 2019 People magazine interview, recalling his choice to take a vacation from Hollywood. I never really got into that. I’m really driven to succeed at everything I do, to wow others with my abilities, and to keep doing it. However, my other self is content no matter where I am.”
The comedian went on to say that he had no problem stepping away from the spotlight to concentrate on being a father once his children entered the picture.
“My wife and I made two humans, so I thought I probably should make some adjustments based on the two humans being there,” Dana stated at the time.
Dex and his brother Thomas, who also enjoyed comedy, went with Dana to several of the legend’s performances and shared the stage with him.
