Summary

'A Christmas Story' is more than a classic movie. It has become a holiday tradition. Every Christmas, the 1983 family film runs on a 24-hour loop on cable. Now 39 years later, producer, director, and actor Peter Billingsley has returned to play Ralphie in the sequel, "A Christmas Story Christmas." Billingsley recently sat down with host Dave Anthony on the FOX News Rundown to discuss both the original movie and why he decided to revisit his iconic character as an adult in the new one. He also discusses his career including roles in other classic films like 'Elf'. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with producer, director, and actor Peter Billingsley and hear more of his journey down memory lane playing Ralphie in 'A Christmas Story.'
