Over 20 years ago, Tim Allen starred as Scott Calvin in the epic Christmas classic, The Santa Clause. Scott was a self-centered douche lord and borderline deadbeat dad, who had to become the new Santa Clause after scaring the original St. Nick and basically murdering him. The majority of the film centers around Scott’s struggle to become a decent human being, and eventually the most beloved man on earth. Part of Scott’s evolution in the film was rebuilding his relationship with his young son, Charlie. As Scott struggles against accepting his new fate, it’s Charlie belief in him that keeps him going despite naysayers, his tragic ex-wife Laura and her new hubby as well as his own apprehension. Eric Lloyd who played Charlie appeared in the original 1994 film as well as its subsequent sequels, 2002’s The Santa Clause 2 and 2006’s The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. After The Santa Clause trilogy ended, Lloyd graduated from Chapman University, and the 29-year old has continued to work both in front of the screen and behind it.
