Sir Michael Caine actively pursued the role of Ebenezer Scrooge when he heard that it was going into production. He had missed out on a guest star role on the TV series Muppet Show (1976) which was shot in the UK while he was living as a tax exile in the US at the time. However friends and colleagues he knew who had guested on it such as Sir Roger Moore, John Cleese, Peter Sellers and Sylvester Stallone had told him they had a massive amount of fun appearing in the show and that it had also given them extra kudos with children too. By the time this film was greenlighted in 1991, Caine had moved back to the UK and when he heard it was going to be filmed in a a London film studio he had his agent badger Jim Henson Productions until they agreed to meet with him. They then cast him shortly afterwards.
