Allan Hawco (l) and guest star Russell Crowe (r) on CBC's Republic of Doyle
It’s rare for A-list actors to make a guest appearance on any TV shows, let alone a Canadian series, but that’s exactly what megastar Russell Crowe did, when he played a thug on the third season premiere of Republic of Doyle. The show’s co-creator Allan Hawco, who also stars as Jake Doyle on the show, told CBC News: “I really feel like this episode is very special. It’s a jam-packed, fun ride.” The episode was filmed last summer in St. John’s, Newfoundland and also features three actors who played alongside Crowe in the 2010 movie Robin Hood – Scott Grimes, Kevin Durand and Great Big Sea’s Alan Doyle. The episode airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. on CBC.

Wow way to go Russel Crowe, I don’t know why they didn’t advertise that fact. I might actually have tuned in to get to know what that show is all about.
Yeah, I only read it here too. I wonder why they didn’t announce that all over the place, it’s pretty big news.
Watched the show for the first time because of the guest stars. It was a fun episode with comedy and twists. The taser scene was the best. If you missed the episode you can watch it online from CBC’s TV website.
I think this was a missed opportunity from CBC.
It’s been advertised on tv for the past two or three weeks, my patience was wearing thin waiting for it to play. Thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed out loud in a couple of scenes!
Yeah it’s been advertised like crazy lately on CBC, especially prime time. Great episode!
never considered watching this show before…till now
