Chances are that most households in North America have watched one of the biggest cult-classic movies in 1983’s ‘A Christmas Story’ during the holidays.
To celebrate the season, North Vancouver’s Goodlad Clothing at 221 West Esplande brings you Zack Ward who played Scut Farkus ‘the bully’ in ‘The Christmas Story’. Ward will be in store supporting his good friend Shane Meier on Saturday, December 21, as ‘barista for a day’.
Shane, who starred as Clint Eastwood’s son in ‘Unforgiven’, has known Zack since he played his younger brother 25 years ago in ‘Harvest of the Heart’.
“In the process, Shane became like a younger brother to me. We have been life long friends ever since,” says Zack. “I’ve used my infamy as Scut as a lighting rod to raise money and awareness for bully prevention programs around the country. Scut Farkus has become the Darth Vader of Christmas, a character the fans love to hate. This year I’m coming to Goodlad to support my ‘little brother’ by raising money and toys with a Toy Drive to support the North Shore Neighourhood House.”
Goodlad is an independently owned barbershop, coffee bar, and men’s clothing store. Zack and Shane invite everyone to meet Zack and bring a toy or cash donation for the North Shore Neighourhood House, get an autograph and shop for dad’s Christmas gift.
The man behind the Goodlad concept, Shane Meier, was a busy child actor with memorable roles. In addition to his role in the Oscar-winning film ‘Unforgiven’, he also starred as young Macgyver on ‘MacGyver’ YTV series, and in Steven King’s ‘Needful Things’, ‘Andre,’ ‘The Matthew Shepard Story’, and many other TV series and feature films.
