We wouldn’t need a Santa tax if there wasn’t a war on Christmas.

Just be happy they didnt make a video instead....

No kidding. If I were, say, someone who reviews TV and film, I might know who all these people look like. And, yes, we all have Google image search if we’re here at IO9. That being said, if you’re reporting casting news, do us all a favor and include a photo.
