Now, director Chris Columbus revealed during a chat with Yahoo Entertainment that Russell, who stars as Santa Claus in their new movie The Christmas Chronicles 2, wants the role of Saint Nick to be the last one he ever plays.
While fans might argue that Kurt Russell will forever be known as Snake or any other iconic role he has played, his role as Father Christmas is no less memorable.
Especially since, as Columbus went on to reveal, Russell's approach to his latest role was to prepare for it with all the intensity of a seasoned method actor.
