You have to love it really, unless you are related to him.  Movie star Richard Dreyfuss has filed suit against his own father and uncle over a loan he claims to have made them in 1984 and which remains unpaid now, 24 years later.

In his lawsuit filed Friday, Dreyfuss says his uncle, Gilbert Dreyfuss, has repeatedly refused to turn over records that would show its financial status of an office building the purchase of which the money money was borrowed.

Dreyfuss alleges his uncle and father, Norman Dreyfuss, have acted with "fraud" and "malice." He is seeking a repayment of the loan, plus interest and punitive damages.

Man-o-man, there is no hardball like family hardball.  I might have differences with my father, but to accuse him of fraud and malice, that would make family reunions fun and interesting.

I am waiting for the counterclaim in which Norman Dreyfuss sues his son for the money the father spend on necessities (like acting lessons) in raising him.
