Scott played the role of cecil winchester, a new yorker, in the show's 19th season finale.

In an Instagram post commemorating the experience, Scott revealed he said 'yes' before the offer was even fully extended to him, reigniting his passion for acting.

With over 20 years of on-screen experience alongside twin brother Jonathan, Scott's Murdoch Mysteries cameo marked a departure from his usual HGTV fare.

The crime drama, based on Maureen Jennings' Detective Murdoch novels, follows Toronto's '90s murder beat and features cutting-edge forensic technology.

While there are no official plans for Scott's character to become a regular, the Property Brother expressed his gratitude to the cast and crew for making him feel at home during filming.
