Opening in theaters tomorrow, ARTHUR CHRISTMAS is an animated family film from Aardman Animation, the folks behind the hugely popular WALLACE & GROMMIT franchise. Using very broad and kid-friendly comedy, the film tells the story of how one of Santa’s sons must complete an urgent mission before Christmas morning or lose the family business. Directed by SARAH SMITH, the voice cast includes JAMES McAVOY, HUGH LAURIE, JIM BROADBENT and BILL NIGHY.

Known for his dry wit and acerbic sense of humor, LAURIE recently sat down with us to talk about his attraction to playing the character of Santa’s oldest son, Steve. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
