Now 53, Peter now mainly directs (Couples Retreat, Term Life), and produces (Four Christmases). He’s also good friends with Vince Vaughn.
In 2022, he played Ralphie for the first time in almost 40 years when he reprised the role in A Christmas Story Christmas – a decision that was inspired by the two children he shares with his wife of nine years Elizabeth.
“A lot of people have said, ‘Why now?’ for this movie, and definitely being a father in real life [paralleled] being able to channel being a father in A Christmas Story Christmas,” he says.
He portrayed a grown-up, married with kids, who had returned to his hometown for the holidays.
