An actor in the perennial seasonal favorite, A Christmas Story, is suing McCarter & English, claiming it helped a client fraudulently conceal evidence that he was owed royalties for a movie-themed calendar with his photo.

Zack Ward — who played the 1983 film’s heavy, the bully “Scut Farkus” — says McCarter knew its client National Entertainment Collectibles Association of Hillside sold the calendar but concealed that fact during discovery in a separate suit in Los Angeles.
