We chat with TheSantaClauses star kalpenn about his role as Simon Choksi, living up to the beloved franchise, and some of the Christmas themes the disneyplus series goes into:
The Santa Clause franchise is one of the most timeless holiday season classics, and it's set to continue with Disney+'s upcoming miniseries The Santa Clauses. With its first two episodes arriving on Disney + on November 16th, The Santa Clauses is a very different tale for Scott Calvin a.k.a. Santa Claus, with the miniseries introducing numerous new characters like Kal Penn's Simon Choksi.
Kal Penn: I'd worked with our EP Jason [Winer] about 20 years ago on something, and we've known each other off and on through the years. He reached out and was like, "Hey, there's kind of a super secret holiday project that I'd love for you to take a look at." Then he sent me the script and the role, and I realized it was The Santa Clauses.
Screen Rant: Simon has a similar starting point as Scott did. When you're entering something with so much history, what did you find to be the biggest challenge?
