Based on the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Scrooged is a modern retelling that follows Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical and selfish television executive who is visited by a succession of ghosts on Christmas Eve intent on helping him regain his Christmas spirit.
Frank Cross is a wildly successful television executive whose cold ambition and curmudgeonly nature has driven away the love of his life. But after firing a staff member on Christmas Eve, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts who give him a chance to re-evaluate his actions and right the wrongs of his past.
- Bill Murray. The comedy star had already headlined several Hollywood films before playing a TV network executive scrooge in this Dickensian adaptation. After a stint on Saturday Night Live shot Murray to superstardom, he went on to appear in a number of comedy staples, including Stripes, Caddyshack and Ghostbusters.
- Karen Allen. Before Allen starred in Scrooged as Frank's one that got away, audiences already knew her as Harrison Ford's love interest, Marion, in George Lucas' hit Indiana Jones franchise.
- John Forsythe. Forsythe was already a Hollywood legend before he became the first ghost to visit Murray's Frank in Scrooged. Perhaps one of his most iconic roles early in his career was a role in which is was not seen, but heard, as the original Charles Townsend in the hit TV series Charlie's Angels.
- Bobcat Goldthwait. Before Scrooged, Goldthwait first came to fame as a standup comedian, making several cameos in various projects as himself. Scrooged, however, was one of his first major character roles as burned ex-employee Eliot Loudermilk.
