Long before capturing our hearts as Nick Nelson, Kit Connor went on the holly jolly adventure of a lifetime in the 2014 holiday film, "Get Santa." The film tells the story of recently released prisoner Steve Anderson (Rafe Spall) and his son, Tom (Connor), as they attempt to save Christmas after learning that Santa Claus (Jim Broadbent) is in jail. At the time of its release, "Get Santa" did moderately well, earning nearly $5 million worldwide and garnering a 79% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The role would be Connor's first feature film role after gaining minor roles on television shows and movies such as Sky One's "Chickens" and BBC's "An Adventure in Space and Time." The opportunity was an especially meaningful one for the young performer. Not only did working on the film give Connor the chance to work alongside such talents as Warwick Davis, Jim Broadbent, and Jodie Whittaker, but the jingly-jangly subject matter fulfilled a dream for the actor.
In an interview with Hey U Guys, Connor said, "From the very first start of my acting, I thought when I first think of doing a movie, because I love Christmas, I really wanted it to be a Christmas movie. And just by my luck, it happened."
