Santa in TV & Film
It’s the Christmas Season, Slackers!
Did you know that Santa Claus first appeared in a short film all the way back in 1897?!
Since then, there have been dozens of live action (and animated) movies and shows starring that jolly old elf. Given the iconic nature of the character, finding the right actor is important. And when Hollywood captures lightning in a bottle, you know they are going to capitalize on it!
There have been a handful of actors that so nailed the role that they were brought back numerous times, across genres, film, TV, you name it. Can you guess who played the role in live action more than any other? The answer might surprise you.
And no, it isn’t Tim Allen.
