Peter Billingsley
Over the years, Billingsley has appeared in a number of films and television shows. In the 1983 Yuletide classic “A Christmas Story,” he played Ralphie Parker, a young boy determined to get his hands on an “official Red Ryder carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.” Billingsley remained in the entertainment industry for the rest of his life. He now mostly works behind the scenes, with a few cameos thrown in for good measure.
