Kelsey Grammer will play Ebenezer Scrooge once again for the indie satire “An American Carol,” directed by David Zucker (Scary Movie 4).

Grammer played Dickens’ stingy personality in the NBC-Hallmark production of “A Christmas Carol” in 2004. Now, he plans on playing a modern-day Ebenezer in new film, which satirizes contemporary American culture, striking at Hollywood.
Grammer plans to shoot the film and his series “Back to You” in tandem. This summer, Grammer plans to in Disney’s “Swing Vote.”
