Peter Billingsley has been a member of the Hollywood community since he
was a small child, achieving success and accolades, both behind the
scenes and in front of the camera. The highly-successful child-actor-turned-
producer received an Emmy Award nomination in 2005, as
co-executive producer on the critically acclaimed Independent Film
Channel show
Dinner for Five (2001) with
Jon Favreau. He also served as
executive producer on the hit summer film,
The Break-Up (2006), and recently
wrapped production on Marvel Comics feature film,
Iron Man (2008), directed by
Jon Favreau.
Billingsley also served as co-producer on the Artisan Entertainment classic, Made (2001), starring Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, as well as Sony's recent science fiction release, Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005), directed by Favreau.
Billingsley recently became a principal in "Wild West Picture Show Productions". The production company, founded by Vince Vaughn, currently has a first look production deal with Universal Studios.
Growing up in the public eye, Billingsley began his acting career, at the age of three, in some of the 1970s' most memorable television commercials. After appearing on numerous television shows and films during his youth, the Emmy Award-nominated actor delivered a performance for the ages in the beloved holiday film, A Christmas Story (1983). Playing humorist Jean Shepherd's youthful alter-ego "Ralphie", Billingsley's repeated requests, in the film, for a genuine Red Ryder BB-gun quickly catapulted the actor to instant stardom and has since driven the film into pop-culture lore as the classic modern-day Christmas tale.
Born in New York City, Billingsley currently resides in Los Angeles.
