Hadfield is a busy man, but not busy enough that he can't help you out

You've seen him snap spectacular photos of Earth, write songs from space, talk to celebrity spaceship captains, do cooking tutorials and Reddit AMAs all from the weightlessness of space.

But if you thought Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield couldn't possibly do any more up there, you'd be wrong.

In fact, between his hobby for photography, his job tending experiments and grabbing Dragons with a robotic arm, and his passion for Twitter, he's still got time to do your taxes.

That's the premise at least of a skit on the Rick Mercer Report, a popular Canadian comedy show.

It's not the smartest or the funniest you've seen, but it's probably the first skit shot with astronauts in space, so it's got that going for it.

As expected, Hadfield acquits himself quite well as an actor. The fact that he can float while doing his lines may or may not have something to do with it.

You can watch the skit in the video above, Hadfield also posted a behind the scenes shot, you'll find that in the gallery below.
