Actor Dreyfuss sues father, uncle over unpaid loan

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Richard Dreyfuss is suing his father and uncle over an $870,000 loan he claims was never repaid.

The lawsuit centers on a loan Dreyfuss claims he made to his relatives in 1984 when they owned an interest in a downtown Los Angeles office building.

Roughly 24 years later, Dreyfuss says that loan — and interest — remains unpaid.

In his lawsuit filed on Friday, Dreyfuss says his uncle, Gilbert Dreyfuss, has repeatedly refused to turn over records that would show his financial status.

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.
