JUST LIKE EGGNOG, candy canes and mistletoe, 1983's A Christmas Story has become a cherished holiday tradition. And we never tire of seeing it pop up around this time of year. That's because A Christmas Story's cast members (many of whom reunited for HBO Max's 2022 film A Christmas Story Christmas) have become like real-life relatives to fans of the quirky, irreverent comedy. So grab your Red Ryder BB Gun (if you were lucky enough to get one) and read on to catch up with the cast of A Christmas Story.
PETER BILLINGSLEY
RALPHIE PARKER
Peter Billingsley had been doing commercials since the age of 3, leading up to his role at 12 years old as the adorable Ralphie Parker. After A Christmas Story, he went on to land small parts on several shows such as Highway to Heaven (1985), Punky Brewster (1985-86) and The Wonder Years (1993).
In 1994, he earned an Emmy nomination for The Writing on the Wall, a CBS Schoolbreak Special about anti-Semitism.
As Billingsley got older, he began working more behind the camera, which later earned him another Emmy nomination as the co-executive producer on the IFC talk show Dinner for Five (2001).
Billingsley has since served as executive producer or producer on a number of other successful projects.
