Who could never play a convincing Santa Claus?

Anytime someone carries a heavier than normal bag of garbage tossed over their shoulder, I can’t help but say, “Worst . . . Santa . . . Ever!” But a bag hefted over a shoulder is not enough to be truly mistaken for Santa. You must fully commit to the character: beard, suit, abdominal obesity, an ability to point out 3 women of ill repute in rapid succession. Those traits will pigeon-hole you as Santa. Speaking of fully committing and pigeon-holing . . . Daniel Radcliffe! He committed to being fully nude in the Broadway production of Equus, yet still failed to persuade people from associating him with any role other than Harry Potter. Same goes for Tim Allen—although to a much lesser extent. He’ll always be Tim “The Toolman” Taylor to me. “The Toolman” portrayed the Big Guy in The Santa Clause, The Santa Clause 2, and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Despite his multiple attempts, Tim Allen will never be unpigeonholed from his hit 1990s TV show, Home Improvement. Then again, Tim’s most recent series, Last Man Standing, ran for 9 seasons—one more than Home Improvement.
