Canadian actor Zack Ward was just 13 years old when he was cast as Scut Farkus -- the scraggly and provocative redhead who bullied other kids -- in the Christmas classic "A Christmas Story" back in 1983.
Zack shared the big screen with Peter Billingsley as the young boy convincing everyone -- including Santa Claus -- why he deserves a BB gun, Ralphie Parker and Ian Petrella as Ralphie's younger and at times whiny brother, Randy.
The sequel "A Christmas Story 2" hit theaters back in 2012 with a whole new cast including Daniel Stern from "Home Alone."
