More recently, the veteran actor has earned praise for his contributions to the series "Manhattan" and "Shrill," though he also devotes significant time to his off-screen passion of sculpting. He played a similarly awkward sidekick alongside Billy Crystal in 1991's City Slickers (and its 1994 sequel), made his feature film directorial debut with the baseball comedy Rookie of the Year (1993) and enjoyed prominent roles in Celtic Pride (1996), Very Bad Things (1998) and Whip It (2009). While in the midst of a successful, but little-known run as the narrator of The Wonder Years, Daniel Stern parlayed his turn as Marv, Harry's dimwitted Wet Bandits partner, to greater name and facial recognition. Pesci then indulged an old love for music with the tongue-in-cheek album "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You" (1998), and surfaced in films like The Good Shepherd (2006) and Love Ranch (2010), before returning to the spotlight in 2019 as – what else? – a mafia boss in The Irishman.ĭaniel Stern as Marv Murchins and Joe Pesci as Harry Lyme Photo: Alamy Stock Photo He delivered another memorable show as the titular fish-out-of-water lawyer of My Cousin Vinny (1992), and followed with more wise-guy roles in A Bronx Tale (1993) and Casino (1995), before all but vanishing from the screen after one final turn as Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998). Culkin then took another step out the shadows in 2021 when he announced the birth of son Dakota with partner Brenda Song, and showed that his acting chops remained intact with his lauded role in 2021's "American Horror Story: Double Feature." Joe Pesci (Harry Lyme)įresh off the career-defining role of Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas (1990), Joe Pesci played his patented hotheaded persona for laughs as Harry, the brainier half of the Wet Bandits criminal duo, in Home Alone and its first sequel.
Over the next two decades, the reclusive former star reappeared to portray a drug-addicted club promoter in Party Monster (2003), pen the autobiographical novel Junior (2006) and launch a parody band called the Pizza Underground. However, this meteoric rise fueled other problems, and a teenaged Culkin soon abandoned his screen career and removed his parents' name from his trust fund. Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister Photo: Alamy Stock Photoįew child actors possess the presence to carry a feature film, but it was Macaulay Culkin's bug-eyed expressions and face-slapping gestures as Kevin McCallister that propelled him to immediate stardom-and subsequent leading roles in My Girl (1991), The Good Son (1993) and Richie Rich (1994). Here's a look at what some of that talented cast is up to these days: Of course, in the same way that few experiences compare to the childhood joy of unwrapping the perfect gift, there's simply no beating the original in the minds of those who grew up watching Home Alone's spot-on fusion of cartoonish violence and holiday sentimentality. And its overwhelming success led to a 1992 follow-up featuring most of the original performers, three additional sequels and, inevitably, a 2021 reboot: Home Sweet Home Alone.
Its intake of nearly $477 million held the record for the highest-grossing live-action comedy for two decades.
The holiday comedy about an 8 year old forced to fend off two house intruders after being left behind on a family vacation boasted a talented cast, and a renowned director (Chris Columbus) and screenwriter (John Hughes).īut no one foresaw it becoming one of the biggest box-office hits of all time.
