I once filmed a commercial in Chicago featuring a real-life Santa. Meaning, he was a dude with a real white beard who got paid to play Santa. He was an ex-policeman in Chicago. A real neighborhood guy. Sneaking cigarettes and racist as fuck. It was a trip.

Chicago always reminded me a lot of Philly and New York. It’s got a lot of, “Hey Santa, ya fat fuck. How ya doin?”
