Sinbad's most successful film would likely be the hit holiday classic, Jingle All The Way, which he starred in with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hartman. In the film, Sinbad played deranged mailman Myron Larabee, who was determined to beat Schwarzenegger's Howard Langston in acquiring a Turbo Man action figure, the hottest fictional toy of that holiday season.
