Flash Gordon - ACS deleted scene

The Flash Gordon scene was filmed and then cut from the movie "A Christmas Story" and only a credit for Ming the Merciless remained in the movie. One photo of Ralphie and Flash had surfaced on the ACS House website back in 2014. Ming the Merciless was played by Colin Fox, so who played Flash Gordon? While Ralphie is writing his "theme" there is a copy of the little big book "Flash Gordon in The Ice World of Mongo" sitting on his desk.
