"A Christmas Story" Legal Battle

From the Dec. 19, 2012, Yahoo! Movies Hollywood Reporter.

Zack Ward from "A Christmas Story" has found out recently about how much money is being made in merchandising the 1983 movie.  Most of the other actors signed contracts regarding merchandising royalties except him as his part was originally intended to be very minor, but was increased during filming.  He is not and has filed a legal suit against Warner Brothers, who made the movie.

In case you're wondering what role Ward had, he was Scott "Skutt"  Fakes, the bully, who made Ralphie's life pretty miserable until until the meltdown beat-up.

In November 2010, he was at the annual "Christmas Story" charity fundraiser in Cleveland and was shocked when a fan handed him a "Christmas Story" board game with his face on it.  The playing cards for the game also had his face on them.  Then, there was a calendar and other items.
