Canadian Olympic Medallist Elvis Stojko To Guest Star In CBC Comedy ‘One More Time’

EXCLUSIVE: Two-time Canadian Olympic medallist Elvis Stojko is to guest star in CBC‘s comedy One More Time.

We’ve got a first look at the popular figure skater, who will appear in the seventh episode of the Counterfeit Pictures series. The ep, titled ‘Lazer Blade,’ will air on Tuesday February 20 and also on streamer CBC Gem.

Stojko will play himself opposite star D.J. Demers (The Tonight Show) in the workplace comedy, in which hard-of-hearing second-hand sporting goods store manager Demers leads a team of ‘enthusiastic’ employees.

The figure skater won back-to-back Olympic silver medals at Lillehammer in 1994 and Nagano 1998 along with three world titles and seven national titles (1994, 1996-2000, 2002). He was inducted to Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame in 2011.

“Elvis Stojko is a Canadian icon and a huge part of my childhood — which is crazy because he doesn’t even look that much older than me. The man is aging like a fine wine,” said Demers. “Having him do a guest role on the show was such a treat. The cast and writers were so excited when he agreed to join. His episode is definitely one of my favourites of the season.”

Demers is joined in One More Time by Geri Hall (Astrid and Lilly Save the World, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Daniel Beirne (Ginny & Georgia, Workin’ Moms, Fargo); Elise Bauman (Workin’ Moms, Carmilla); newcomer Seran Sathiyaseelan; and Dayton Sinkia (Letterkenny, The Strain).

Executive producers on One More Time are Dan Bennett, Shane Corkery and Anton Leo for Counterfeit Pictures, and D.J. Demers. Jessie Gabe serves as executive producer and showrunner. Dane Clark and Melanie Orr are co-executive producers, Martina Monro co-producer and Colin Brunton producer. Season one directors are Melanie Orr, Cory Bowles, Jessie Gabe, and Yael Staav. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual and Sports; Trish Williams is Executive Director, Scripted Content; Sandra Picheca is Director of Current Production, Comedy, CBC Scripted Content and Greig Dymond is Executive in Charge of Production.
