Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 23, 2014 Thought we should have a seasonal thread. David Huddlestone, the bloke who played Santa Claus in Santa Claus: the Movie, is 84 now and has well and truly outlived his co-star, Dudley Moore. Probably one to do a seasonal check on! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Huddleston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,346 Posted December 23, 2014 He looks ok but was fat for many years so the ticker must be dodgy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted December 24, 2014 I was confused by the topic title since I didn't have any idea who this HuddlestonE person was. Then upon closer looking I realized it was a spelling error and the E should have been chopped. Huddleston has long been a favorite actor of mine, appearing in many films and on many television programs. He's appeared in some of the same shows as dear old Uncle Wilfie, including The Waltons which ran for eons and just this year saw the passing of Papa Walton, who was nicely played by Ralph Waite. On a side note, he has a son named Michael who it turns out is also an actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted August 5, 2016 He was funny in the big leobowski. He was called the big leobowski because he was fat and called leobowski and they didn't like calling him fat fuck leobowski. In my opinion fat fuck leobiwski is more accurate?

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 31, 2016 Only just (very belatedly) saw this. Was wondering why I didn't receive any presents this year. Thought I must have been a bad boy. RIP Santa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
