Comedian Paul Rodriguez has sued his former manager for $1 million, alleging that he forged a signature to gain ownership of the film "The Latin Kings of Comedy" and struck a deal with a major studio.

The Superior Court lawsuit, filed Thursday, alleges that Scott Montoya and his company, Payaso Entertainment, forged the comedian's signature on a contract and then entered into a deal with Paramount Pictures to distribute the film after the two men agreed in 2001 to split profits from the movie.
