Tim Allen played Scott Calvin in the original The Santa Clause movie in 1994 and has since reprised his role as the divorced dad who accidentally takes up Santa’s role after he suffers a fall from the roof on Christmas Eve. The John Pasquin-directed movie has fast become a holiday staple for families with its blend of comedy, warmth, and relatability. The first, The Santa Clause, was well-received by viewers, who became acquainted with Tim’s excellent delivery of his role and natural humor. This success birthed two more sequels in 2002 and 2006, after which it seemed production was done. Thankfully, the classic might make a comeback soon, even though Disney+ currently shows a limited series version.
