Tom Hanks Played 7 People in "The Polar Express," Including Santa Claus

Hanks as Santa Claus is a sort of dream come true, if you ask us. The polar (pun-intended) opposite of Jim Carrey in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," his Santa is boisterous, festive, and jolly. His booming voice and surprising height solidify the fact that he is the Santa and give us secondhand amazement as the Hero Boy stares up at him in childlike wonder.
