Whatever happened to Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie in "A Christmas Story?" Someone was trying to tell me that he had appeared in a porno film. ???

I think you're getting him confused w/ the other kid who was in A CHristmas Story. Scott Schwartz (the one who got his tongue stuck to the pole...also was in The Toy and Kidco.)

There is a show on Bravo that is hosted by the guy that played Sean Astin's roomate in "Rudy" that is on every once in a while.  I saw Peter Billingsly on the show the last time I watched it and I believe he is a film maker or something.

Various 'Where are they now articles and shows have included some of these names, I was thinking of th emore obscure ones(not Danny Partridge..maybe his brother in the show).

They have found the 'Mikey' guy and used him on the box again to show the difference and that he's around..he was a commercial actor but others were memeorable movie kids.

Neil Patrick (Doogie Howser) now does theatre

In 2003, he appeared in 'Chicago'  with Deborah Gibson (or was that 'Caberet'...I don't remember & not much of a fan of musical theatre)
