Ralphie From A Christmas Story Appears In Elf - Peter Billingsley's Cameo Explained
Image
Peter Billingsley, known for his role as Ralphie in A Christmas Story, made a cameo as Ming Ming in Elf. Uncredited for his Elf role, Billingsley's appearance went unnoticed for many years until the internet rediscovered it. Billingsley and Jon Favreau have collaborated multiple times, with Billingsley producing several of Favreau's films and working together on others like Iron Man.

Peter Billingsley's most iconic role is Ralphie from A Christmas Story, but it still comes as a shock to many that he also made a cameo in Elf. The late Bob Clark had one of the wildest directing careers of all time, having helmed classics in very different genres. He directed 1974's Black Christmas, a slasher tale that's seen as a precursor to films like Halloween, and the original rowdy teen comedy Porky's. His most beloved work remains 1983's A Christmas Story, where Peter Billingsley's Ralphie has various misadventures leading up to Christmas Day.
