Scott Schwartz

Scott Schwartz is a former child star best known for his role as "Flick" in the 1983 sleeper hit movie A Christmas Story. Most people might not remember the name "Scott Schwartz," but they probably remember his character from the movie. Flick was the character that licked a frozen flagpole on a dare and his tongue froze to the flagpole. If you've seen the movie, I'm sure you remember that scene, as it is probably the most memorable one in the movie.






Like many former child stars, puberty was very harsh on Schwartz and basically killed his career. Schwartz stopped growing shortly after he reached 5 feet in height (according to his MySpace page he is 5"2' tall). Desperate to make a buck in the entertainment world Schwartz turned to porn when no regular acting roles were available. He appeared in movies such as Beauty and the Beast 2 (1990), Scotty's X-rated Adventure (1996), New Wave Hookers 5 (1997), The Wrong Snatch (1997) and Dirty Bob's Xcellent Adventures 35 & 36 (both 1997). He even won an AVN Award (the apparent porn equivalent to an Oscar) in 1997 for "Best Non-Sexual Performance" in Silver Screen Confidential (1996).
 

In 2000, he left the adult film industry entirely in an attempt to revive his career in mainstream movies, appearing in bit roles in crappy low-budget movies such as Skin Walker (2004) and Unseen Evil 2 (2004). He has also run a sports and movie memorabilia collectibles store with his father in Westlake Village, California since 1987.

Schwartz apparently likes to pretend that he is friends with sports celebrities. He posted pictures of himself with Barry Bonds and Hulk Hogan on his MySpace page. The caption for the Hogan picture indicates that Hogan is an "old friend." This, of course, begs the question - why is the Hulkster looking at Schwartz as though Schwartz is some kind of weirdo if Hogan really is an "old friend?"

At this point Schwartz's acting career is washed-up beyond all repair. He is a chubby and unattractive little shrimp and is becoming more and more obese every day, as one can clearly see in the pictures below. All of this makes Scott Schwartz one washed up celebrity!

I just discovered that Scott Schwartz was more involved in the porn business than I had initially realized. Not only did Schwartz act in porno movies, he was also an agent for porn stars. He wrote a letter to a porn website to discuss his dealing with a porn star named Anastasia Blue, who was a former client and had committed suicide years after he last represented her.
