According to Nigel Hawthorne's page, this was the last film he made and he died on Boxing Day (26th December) the year it was released.

Yes its very sad, Nigel Hawthorne was a great actor and will be sadly missed.

Nigel Hawthorne was by far the best thing about this particular film too, everything else about it is pretty horrible and ridiculous, but he was superb.

He was wonderful in this movie and I think he tried to promote it .
A shame that it didn't make it to the big screen.
Like another posting said , we had ELF on the big screen ? WTF .
This movie was way better.

The movie premiered on December 2, 2001, and he died just 24 days later on the 26th, which is fitting because in the movie, Nick was going to retire after one last Christmas.
