Will Mick Foley Play Santa On ‘New Girl’?, Details Inside

In a post on Facebook, Mick Foley revealed that he was offered the chance to play Santa Claus on FOX’s New Girl but turned it down.

He wrote: “I got the inquiry from my agent (I wasn’t definitely ‘in’, but really think I would have gotten the role),” Foley writes, “and was absolutely thrilled…until I saw that the role called for me to be a rather sleazy St Nick, throwing some sexual innuendos at the lovely Ms Deschanel – and unfortunately, I just can’t do that as Santa.

Here’s the strange thing: I’d be more than happy to play a seedy, innuendo throwing version of myself. In fact, I had no problem whatsoever playing a small role in the upcoming feature #Dixieland, where I played myself in a bizarre dream sequence at a Mississippi strip club, where I ‘make it rain’ on actress Riley Keough, the stunningly beautiful grand-daughter of ELVIS PRESLEY. But I just can’t do it as Santa. Sure, it would have been great publicity for the release of I Am Santa Claus, and I could have probably talked Zooey into taking a photo with me for #FoleyIsElfWeek2 – part of my 365 day #FoleyIsSanta challenge (currently at day #308) But it just would have felt wrong.“
