I’ve been waiting all year to be able to say this: Merry Christmas , ya filthy animals! The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s time to dust off our favorite festive films!
For me, there’s none better than Home Alone . Lately, I began wondering what the cast has been up to. Let’s find out with these 10+ pics of the Home Alone cast then and now to show just how much they’ve changed!
RELATED STORIES
Senta Moses as Tracy McCallister.
Tracy McCallister was Kevin’s cousin and the oldest daughter of his Uncle Frank and Aunt Leslie.
Since Home Alone , Senta Moses has entertained a successful TV career, having recently appeared in the Reese Witherspoon/Kerry Washington drama Little Fires Everywhere .
Diana Rein as Sondra McCallister.
Sondra McCallister is the sister of Tracy; the youngest daughter of Frank and Leslie. She doesn’t have many lines, but she’s one of the only family members who treat Kevin with any respect.
These days, Diana Rein is a successful touring musician!
Larry Hankin as Officer Balzak.
Officer Balzak had a small but memorable role in Home Alone . He’s the officer that Kate initially calls to check-in on Kevin, while she’s still stuck at the airport.
Larry Hankin has appeared in many roles over the years, including a brief stint on Breaking Bad .
Terrie Snell as Aunt Leslie.
Oh, Aunt Leslie; how you ever settled for a proverbial cheapskate like Frank I’ll never understand.
These days, Terri’s acting days are largely behind her. Instead, she’s focusing on her management company, TalentINK.
Gerry Bamman as Uncle Frank.
Come on, Frank! Kate and Peter are flying you and your family to France for the holidays, on an all-expenses-paid vacation, and you can’t even spring for the pizza?!
Time has been kind to actor Gerry Bamman — he looks pretty much the same as he always did.
Angela Goethals as Linnie McCallister.
Linnie McCallister is easily one of the most mean-spirited of the McCallister clan. She’s pretty much a Buzz-clone, for lack of a better term.
Actress Angela Goethals appeared in a handful of features up until the early ’00s. These days, she mostly does walk-on work for TV and direct-to-video features.
Michael C. Maronna as Jeff McCallister.
I love this photo of Jeff McCallister. I can almost hear him shouting “Kevin, you’re such a disease!”
Michael Maronna’s acting days are over, for the most part. Now, he’s the co-founder and co-host of the podcast “The Adventures of Danny and Mike.”
Kieran Culkin as Fuller McCallister.
Let’s all say it together: “Fuller! Go easy on the Pepsi!”
Fuller; what a jerk. I mean really, what kind of a sociopath purposely tries to wet the bed that they’re sharing with their older cousin? It’s not right.
Devin Ratray as Buzz McCallister.
Many of the young actors have tried to cast off the coils of Home Alone , but not Devin Ratray — he embraces it to the fullest!
All I want for Christmas is for Devin Ratray to wish me a “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!”
John Heard as Peter McCallister.
Tragically, John Heard passed away in 2017. He was a constant presence in Hollywood for his entire career and appeared in countless films, as well as several cameo TV roles.
Peter McCallister, on the other hand, is an enigma. Just what is it that you do, Mr. McCallister? I have my suspicions …
Daniel Stern as Marv Merchants
Happy Hanukkah, Marv!
I used to laugh until tears rolled down my face at Daniel Stern’s hilarious and brilliant slapstick. No one, and I mean no one, can take a paint-can to the face like him.
Joe Pesci as Harry Lime.
Joe Pesci is an Academy Award-winner; an acting genius who’d only begun to dip his toe into comedy at this point in his career.
His most recent work in The Irishman may be the last film of Joe’s career.
Catherine O’Hara as Kate McCallister.
Why is it that every year I seem to completely forget that Catherine O’Hara is in Home Alone?
Can you imagine how funny it would be to hear Catherine exclaim “Kevin!” in her Moira Rose voice?
Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister.
Macaulay Culkin did not have a happy childhood . From 1988 until 1994, Mac released and starred in twelve different movies!
He’s just now beginning to venture back in front of the camera, but you can see him hosting “The Bunny Ears Podcast.”
Rob Schneider as Cedric.
I know, Rob Schneider doesn’t show up until the sequel, but when I stumbled across this picture I just had to include it with the bunch.
Could we still one day see a Home Alone reunion with the original cast?
