If anything that would be worse than doing a movie. Filming for a few days in Vancouver however, is not a big commitment, and I'm sure he'd get a pretty good paycheck to do it. If Jamie Dorman wants family time, that means he wants a break from acting. It does not matter how small the job is, he is not going to do it. Besides, to he is way over the budget. Are you Jamie, his wife, or his agent? If the answer is "no", then you do not know if he would do a small appearance on Once or not. Take your second statement and apply it to yourself XD You don't know that he would come back to Once.

Further, he recently bought a house in central England. It's much less uprooting for his family to spend some time in Dublin (there's another city the show supposedly will run in, in Northern Ireland but the name escapes me atm). He uprooted his pregnant wife to Vancouver when they filmed the first movie, and he's clearly not keen to do it again just yet. XD

tl;dr, he's in Ireland/the UK doing projects. Flying him out to Canada for a day or two of shooting isn't going to be worth it. Not impossible, sure, but don't hold your breath. XD Well, yeah, I don't know for sure that he would, but we also can't say for sure he wouldn't. And I think it would be easier now when he has some down time (or more down time) than being a lead in a movie, in what I imagine would be a very taxing role. But yeah, we probably shouldn't hold our breath for him. XD
