santé Scott Calvin after the santa claus would pull in a hundred and eighty nine
dollars worldwide way back in 1994 on a twenty two million dollar budget corn
get home go to stop a charlie we're not going anywhere
would you please be quiet for a minute so I can figure this out after the start
of the film Tim Allen would experience both the Santa Clause becoming number
one at the box office and his show home improvement being rated the number one
TV series in America the very same week because Santa is watching this saturated
fats after the success of the first Santa Clause installation would inspire
a Santa Claus two and three to complete the series
although we all know the first one was the best
sweetheart anything but the tears I'm sorry after the Santa Claus would be
dubbed a Christmas classic and shown on TV channels during the holidays
including AMC with record ratings hey guys sorry I might look like hallow my
voice is hoarse but this is the last video I'm filming before the Christmas
break so bear with me know Disney's the Santa Claus it hit theaters in November
of 1994 and it became a certified box off his head no Tim Allen who played the
Santa Claus himself fully kept up with his acting career and he even added more
holiday flicks to his resume but what happened to the rest of the cast I'm
sure you all remember little Charlie who played Tim Allen son well that guy he
pretty much retired from the world of acting that is after the Santa Claus
movie you know he had to go find something else to do I actually
auditioned for that role true story and how about Scott's skeptical ex-wife
Laura well she's actually done pretty well for herself as a Canadian actress
and she still lives in her hometown of Toronto no sadly one of the santa claus
cast members passed away but he's still putting plenty of acting work after his
role in the film actually a couple of the main characters had run-ins with the
law but it wasn't me and a fun fact for you guys i was
actually in the santa claus way back in 1994
I played Gary this kid Gary nice so I guess I could be included
on this list of where are they now but you all know where I am I'm here
bringing you videos every day what's going on guys it's point Mike humble
cretin taking a look back in another Christmas classic just in time for the
holidays know for this video whether actually to get some help from my
girlfriend Cara cuz trust me she looks a whole lot better doing this than me Cara
take it away hey guys it's no doubt that the Santa
Clause is one of those 90s Christmas movies that became a holiday classic
every year around this time you can see it playing all over cable TV and now of
course we even got all the Santa Clause movies on Disney Plus you know what I'll
be doing this weekend pretty crazy that the first Santa Claus came out way back
in 94 I was only one so clearly a lot has changed since that Santa suit laid
on the ground I fell now my fault reindeer on the roof
thanks for having me back on the channel we've also done similar videos on other
Christmas movies like Alf and Bad Santa and we'll have links to those at the end
of this but we have a lot to get through so let's get into this video
the Santa Claus was released on November 11th 1994 and was directed by John
Paschal John in the star of the film Tim Allen actually worked together before on
Tim's show home improvement and it continued to collab in projects to come
this Santa Claus was followed by two more movies the Santa Claus 2 and the
Santa Claus 3 the escape clause even though the og cast returned for the
sequel and neither of these movies had as much success as the first one
maybe it's because mr. Peskin wasn't the director who knows things can't help me
right now sweetheart for those of you who have never seen the Santa Clause Tim
Allen plays Scott Calvin just your average dad who accidentally makes Santa
get into an accident when he falls off of his roof on Christmas Eve when Scott
and his son Charlie help out and finish Santa's deliveries for the night they
returned to the North Pole and Scott discovers it's his turn to become the
new Santa the Santa Claus his home for me too because it was actually filmed
right here in Canada parts of Ontario were used in place of Illinois and the
North Pole where the movie was set the Vic snow town lakeside from the Santa
Clause is actually Oakville which is a suburb close to here
they even featured reindeer right from the Toronto Zoo let's start with mr.
Scott Calvin himself also known as the Santa Claus played by Tim Allen I'm sure
you're already familiar with the actor especially if you're a 90's kid or
around that era and he's still got a pretty active career back in 94 when the
Santa Clause came out Tim was on the top of his game like we mentioned earlier
the same week the movie hit it big his TV show home improvement was rated the
number one series in America he played the main character at Tim the Toolman
Taylor also working as an executive producer and the show ran from 91 to 99
at the time of this video Tim is 66 years old he doesn't have Instagram but
he is on Twitter and he posts quite a bit about his stand-up comedy which is
one thing he's been up to these days he's touring at the moment and has dates
lined up for 2020 Tim is living sober these days but it wasn't always like
that a few years after the Santa Clause in 1997 he was arrested for a DUI where
he was driving pretty intoxicated although he managed to get out of jail
time he was on probation for a year and put in rehab for alcohol
abuse since then tim stays away from booze we all love tim as santa and he
returned again for the second and third santa claus films even though they
didn't hit quite as well as the original he's actually starred in a total of five
holiday films also doing Christmas with the Kranks in 2004 and the Netflix movie
El Camino Christmas in 2017 in 1999 Tim was dubbed a Disney Legend for his role
as the Santa Claus and of course for being the voice of the beloved Buzz
Lightyear in the Toy Story movies the most recent of which was for Toy Story 4
this past year he also got his own star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004
aside from multiple movies and TV appearances Tim's been starring on the
show last man standing since 2011 his character on the show is Republican just
like he is in real life like I said the Santa Claus was filmed in Canada so it
makes sense the leading lady was a Canadian actress next up is Scott's
non-believer ex-wife and Charlie's mom in the film Laura played by Wendy
Crewson she may have seemed like the bad guy in the movie for not believing her
ex-husband and baby daddy was the new Santa but looking at it as an adult she
was clearly just the sane one you're just denying your inner child
you make a great psychiatrist one day a kid anyways Wendy Crewson is 63 at the
time of this recording and apparently she's still living in Toronto looking at
her Instagram she isn't verified and only has 616 followers but the pictures
look legit and seems like she's been on the social which is basically Canada's
version of the view for those of you who have no idea what was wrong with driving
after the Santa Clause when you return to star in the second and third movies
but you may not have seen her much aside from that she did appear in other films
like what lies beneath a room and more Wendy also had plenty of roles on TV
shows such as 20 for revenge and saving hope not to mention she sounds like the
queen of the Canadian award shows she won six Gemini Awards which are like
Emmys and two Canadian Screen Awards aside from all that work stuff I found
out that despite a 21 year marriage to male actor Michael Murphy and two
children she came out as gay in 2015 Wendy said that she told her family
years prior and her and Michael divorced two no.9 she said I didn't care what
anybody else thought I was fine with coming out to everybody but to your
children it's just a different thing well that's something I definitely
didn't know about her so what about Laura's man in the movie dr. Neil Miller
this role was played by Judge Reinhold and looking back I always thought he
looked so damn familiar it's interesting that he didn't have his big of an acting
career as I thought but it would seem that 94 was a big year for judge 2016
not so much but I'll tell you why in just a second I totally remembered him
for being in Seinfeld where he was the close talker yep that was judged the
dude who dated Elaine this was also in 1994 the same year as the Santa Clause
and he was even nominated for an Emmy for that guest character on Seinfeld
like I said a big year for judge in more recent news though a judge was arrested
in 2016 it wasn't for anything super scandalous but it did make the news
apparently he had a run-in with TSA at the Dallas Airport and caused a big fuss
about not wanting to be checked by security agents wanted to inspect his
backpack and pat him down but he didn't let them and caused a scene everything
was resolved but poor judge was embarrassed
that's probably some of the only tabloid action he's gotten in a while aside from
that drama judge has still been acting here and there including in the santa
clause 2 & 3 and other TV and movie roles up until 2017 moving on let's see
what little Charlie is up to these days in the Santa Clause Scott's son Charlie
was played by Eric Lloyd who's now 33 at the time of this recording my dad is
Santa Claus oh boy I think what he means is I'm like Santa Claus
we're both giving we're both jolly we both work very hard one day a year
shortly after the first Santa Claus Eric appeared in Batman and Robin as a young
Bruce Wayne in 97 and it's in voice work too if you remember those movies The
Brave Little Toaster then aside from returning for the Santa Clause 2 & 3 and
some TV appearances here and there Eric didn't continue his acting career in
Hollywood these days he works more behind the scene in 2015 Eric partnered
up with his college roommate and opened LP Studios a production company where he
lives in California which caters to filmmakers aband and YouTube artists
Eric is also on Instagram and by the looks of it he's living a pretty chill
life in LA with his girlfriend and his dog also seems like music is one of his
hobbies these days another memorable character from the santa claus has got
to be bernard the elf which was played by david krumholtz means you put on the
suit you're the big guy you diggers under put on Susak try to understand
this if you loved him david is actually doing cameo videos so you can go order
one for yourself david killed it as bernard the Alpha and even returned to
star in the Santa Clause - unfortunately he had to sit out the third one because
it conflicted with his schedule for the TV drama numbers that he was working on
after the Santa Clause David has been super active in Hollywood in 1999 he was
in 10 Things I Hate About You as Michael which is such a 90s classic he's also
appeared in a bunch of other movies such as super bad and played Goldstein in the
Harold and Kumar films David found most of his success on the TV show numbers
which he acted on from 2005 to 2010 as well as appearances on shows like
yar and mom David is also active on Instagram maybe the most out of all the
Santa Claus cast and is 41 at the time of this recording he's happily married
and has two kids apparently he's also sober AF finally a
character from the santa claus who sadly passed away since the movie is mr.
widdle scott the santa claus' boss this was played by the memorable actor Peter
Boyle who I knew best as Frank Barone on the show Everybody Loves Raymond Peter
Boyle starred on Everybody Loves Raymond from 1996 to 2005 as race father who
might have just been my faith character he was nominated for multiple awards for
this role Peter also won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama
Series just a year after the Santa Claus in 95 for a character he played in an
episode of the x-files although he sadly passed away in 2006
Peter found plenty of success since the first Santa Clause including roles in
movies such as monsters ball returning for the other Santa Claus movies and his
TV gigs all right guys we're wrapping up this video thank you so much for tuning
