Zack Ward appreciates stories of redemption. In "A Christmas Story Christmas," a sequel to the 1983 classic, his redheaded character, Scut Farkus, who once bullied and tormented the neighborhood kids, has profoundly changed.
But Ward still has fond memories of bad-boy roles, including one notable one from 1997. It was when he knocked out Chuck Norris in an episode of "Walker, Texas Ranger."
OK, Ward didn’t actually KO Norris, whose tough-guy status is a carefully guarded legend.
