What better time of year to take a moment and compare a few actors who look like Santa. There are many out there who bear resemblance to the jolly old elf otherwise known as St. Nick.
 |
| Peter Jackson |
In a few more years,
Peter Jackson will be a shoe-in if that graying continues!
 |
| Guillermo del Toro |
Guillermo del Toro, like Peter Jackson, needs a bit of gray in the hair to complete the package but I daresay he'd best Jackson at the role since PJ has lost all that weight.
 |
| Scott Wilson |
Scott Wilson plays Hershel Greene on that amazing show, The Walking Dead. No he looks like Santa! (except for the gun and the missing lower leg)
 |
| Sir Ian McKellen |
With all the obesity problems in America perhaps it's time Slimmed down in which case
Sir Ian McKellen would be a perfect match.
 |
| Richard Harris |
The late
Richard Harris known by most of us for his role as Albus Dumbledore in the first two Potter films is a rather good match. And, just because I can mention it, he was the best Dumbledore by leaps and bounds.
 |
| Denzel Washington |
If
Denzel Washington let his beard grow in and didn't dye his hair, I bet he'd get very, very close.
 |
| Robin Williams |
He's funny, he's good with kids, he plays a creepy psycho (scratch that last one)
Robin Williams is a great candidate.
 |
| Joaquin Phoenix |
While
Joaquin Phoenix may look like a younger Santa, his bi-polar behavior of late probably wouldn't put him in serious contention.
 |
| Zach Galifianakis |
Certainly on the real Santa's naughty list (but well below Joaquin Phoenix),
Zach Galifianakis could surely pull of the role in a decade or so.
 |
| Patrick Stewart |
Captain Picard (Star Trek next generation for you non-geeks) actor
Patrick Stewart? Why not?
 |
| Hugh Jackman |
Perhaps a bit of a stretch for the Aussie actor
Hugh Jackman simply because unless Santa decided to take performance enhancing drugs to bulk up, he's just not going to work.
 |
| Harrison Ford |
Han Solo? Sure. Why not?
Harrison Ford turned...70 this year (yes, 70!) and his waistline is heading in Santa's direction.
 |
| Sean Connery |
