"When it comes to classic holiday movies, one of the most popular modern classics is A Christmas Story. The movie, about a young boy that yearns after a BB gun for Christmas, stars Peter Billingsley as Ralphie Parker.". . .

. . ."Once he became popular for A Christmas Story, he has guest roles on hit shows such as Who’s The Boss?, Highway to Heaven, and Punky Brewster. He also had roles in films such as The Dirt Bike Kid, Russkies, and Arcade. Eventually, Billingsley shifted his career from in front of the camera to behind the camera.

"Today he is a notable director and producer, having directed Couples Retreat and the short-lived series Sullivan & Son. He has more than 25 producer credits to his name, including animated shows, movies, and documentaries. And he didn’t give up his acting career entirely—if you look closely, you may be able to see his cameo in the Will Ferrell holiday film Elf."
