* [[HeyItsThatGuy Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** Almost every episode from the first season guest stars at least one celebrity actor from Newfoundland or elsewhere in Canada. Stars from ''ThisHourHas22Minutes'', ''Series/CornerGas'', ''Series/DaVincisInquest'', ''Series/{{Alias}}'', and ''Series/TheListener'' have appeared so far.
** Done in universe when Jake recognizes a kidnapper and spends the next half of the episode trying to figure out where he's seen her before. Eventually they realize she's a local actress.
** [[RobinHood Russell Crowe, Kevin Durand, Scott Grimes]] and Alan Doyle in the first episode of the third season.
** [[Series/GeneSimmonsFamilyJewels Shannon Tweed]], of all people, made an appearance. Twice!
** [[Series/TheRedGreenShow Ranger Gord]] left his watchpost to become a smuggler (no, not of duct tape!). Still a bit barmy, too.
** [[Series/TheListener Craig Olejnik]] as a robber in "Young Guns".
** Victor Garber as Garrison Steele.
** And never mind almost the entire main cast from ''Series/MurdochMysteries''.
** [[Series/FlashPoint Leah Kerns]] is now a bookie from Quebec, and will beat the tar out of you (both barehanded and with a baseball bat) while looking absolutely stunning.
** She's not the only [[Series/FlashPoint Team One member]] to show up on the other side of the law. Spike is a shady academic in season one, and Greg Parker can't be trusted with a gun in season six.
** Leslie's father is [[Series/{{Haven}} Vince Teague]]... does this mean she's troubled?
** [[Series/RookieBlue Nick Collins]] is a much less competent cop in this universe.
** [[Series/{{Rectify}} Jon Stern]] is suddenly a mess.
** [[Film/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]], of all people, tried to help Jake make bail. Dumb as a post, too.
** Stephen Mc Hattie, better known to fans of {{Series/The Strain}} as {{badass}} half-vampire Mr. Quinlan shows up in one of the final episodes.
