It’s a family business! Tim Allen’s daughter, Elizabeth Allen-Dick, has joined the cast of The Santa Clause limited series coming to Disney+, according to Deadline.
- Allen-Dick will be a series regular, playing the on-screen daughter of Santa, of course played by Allen.
- She joins a cast that already also includes Elizabeth Mitchell and Kal Penn.
- Allen-Dick went through a lengthy audition process to land the role, which will mark her acing debut.
- Her character’s name is Sandra and she is the youngest child of Scott Calvin (Allen) and Carol (Mitchell).
- Sandra is a bit rough and tumble, has a passionate sense of right and wrong, and a strong connection to animals, mostly because there are no humans her age at the North Pole, which makes her lonely.
- Also joining The Santa Clause as series regulars are Austin Kane, Rupali Redd and Devin Bright.
- Kane will play Cal, the older son of Scott Calvin and his wife Carol:
- Cal lacks drive and focus, isn’t sure what he wants but knows it’s not at the North Pole, and appears ill-equipped to survive in either world, although that might be slowly changing.
- Redd will play Grace:
- Sweet, loving, and kind, Grace is angelic daughter of game inventor and product developer, Simon Choksi (Penn). Her wide-eyed belief in Santa, and her love for all things Christmas, could melt the heart of even the biggest non believer.
- Bright will play Noel:
- Santa’s trusted right-hand elf. Optimistic and energetic, Noel perceives himself as Santa’s best friend.
