Art Evans (Ben) was in Die Hard 2 with Reginald VelJohnson (Carl).
Carl mistakenly believes Ben, who turns out to be Santa Claus, is going to rob people's homes on Christmas Eve. In 227's season 4 'The Night They Arrested Santa Claus', Reginald VelJohnson played a phony Santa who broke into people's homes on Christmas Eve and stole their presents.
