Murdoch Mysteries: Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Cameo Appearance - Exclusive Clip

Murdoch Mysteries fan and long-time viewer, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, makes a cameo appearance on the Citytv original series Murdoch Mysteries, premiering Wednesday, July 20 at 10pm ET/PT (8pm MT, 9pm CT) on Citytv. Prime Minister Harper plays hockey fan, Desk Sergeant Armstrong, a seemingly imperceptive man who ironically doesn't recognize Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier when he walks into Station 4. The Prime Minister's scene was shot on October 15, 2010, and directed by actor Yannick Bisson, who plays Detective William Murdoch in the popular series.

"Murdoch Mysteries is my favourite program...It's wonderful to meet these people who can take characters of over 100 years ago, make them three dimensional and bring them to life. It's a lot of fun to see them work and try to work with them a little as an amateur," said Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the set of Murdoch Mysteries.

This would have been more fun if they had asked Jack Layton to play Laurier.

[membrainiac]

I was hoping he could act so he'd change careers and get out of politics. But no, he's as much of a shit actor as he is a shit PM.

[queenidog]

Yeah it would have been great for Jack to be in this movie. I like this show. I like Harper. He's a good sport

[WildRoseCountryGirl]

I love this show so much and I am very happy there is another season, thanks to the CBC! yeah

I just happened to see this vid and all I see in the comments below...is what, a political debate?

@THINKdontfollow During the last election I paid attention and despite the great leaps that the NDP party made I knew that there was no way Jack Layton was going to be Prime Minister, despite him being the best choice. Between the candidates left I thought we might as well leave Stephen Harper in office as Michael Ignatieff would be a terrible choice and the leader of the Bloc party looked psycho in the debate. So sorry if me liking our Prime Minister offended you.

@THINKdontfollow You know what, I'm a kid, and in this day and age it's a miracle I even know who the PM is and what party he's in. Sorry if politics bore me to death but I'm trying to learn about it. I realize I know little on the subject but considering I can't vote why should I. I know how the political system works in Canada (concerning MPs, MPPs and such) and I've been to the Parliament buildings a few times but to be honest I don't read about any of the proposed bills or things like that.

@MrVercettti It's cool, we know what you meant :)

[Neurolanis]

@THINKdontfollow Indeed he is. I've actually done a lot of videos on this very thing. There are a lot of people who dislike him but few realize how bad he is. All our rights are being stripped away and no one seems to notice. Even Occupy doesn't seem that concerned about him at all. It's disappointing.

[THINKdontfollow]

@Canuckchick52 You have NO references to back up what you are saying LOOK AT THE FACTS. Notice how Neurolanis actually includes the bill number? I honestly can't tell you if you are a youtube troll or are actually that naive. The PM is just taking the credit for Canada's stung economy and it is only doing well because of the opposition (you can read about that in an earlier portion of the tread).

@Canuckchick52 Read his platform THEN try arguing for him...
