Child Stars Where Are They Today

Taking a mental health break by means of an endless countdown show on E!, I learned something surprising.

I find the movie A Christmas Story to be a classic, holiday or otherwise. "You'll shoot your eye out", the leg lamp, the "OOOOHHHHHHH FUDGE" scenes still crack me up. This film was shot in 1983. I've always wondered whatever became of Flick, the bespectacled Ralphie's best friend. You remember him. He was the kid who got his tongue stuck to the flagpole after being triple doggie dared. Today, I found out.

Scotty Schwartz, aka Flick, had his breakout role opposite Richard Pryor in The Toy before landing the supporting role in Christmas. After his second movie, he landed a few guest starring roles on such shows as 21 Jump Street and bit parts in B movies. In the 90s Schwartz decided he needed to go in a different direction - and tried his luck in the porn industry, creating such classics as: New Wave Hookers 5, Dirty Bob's Xcellent Adventures 35, The Wrong Snatch and Scotty's X-Rated Adventure

According to E!, Scottie's now left the porn industry to try a comeback in mainstream media. Good luck, Scottie - Just watch where you put that tongue.
