Randy Parker from "A Christmas Story"

What ever happened to Ian Petrella, the guy who played Randy Parker -- little brother of Ralphie Parker -- in "A Christmas Story"? Remember his meat loaf & mashed potatoes scene? Or the milk under the kitchen counter? Or the little winter outfit that made him look like a tic, and prevented him from putting his hands down?

We found him in LA (this is from about 2 years ago), and he's an animator and puppeteer.

I shot this with the Freddy N. and Angela (mediamogirl). One of a million videos I should get around to uploading...

Nice to see you again Ian. To this day I love your portrayal of Randy. You and Peter look so natural together as brothers. Best wishes in all you do.

Actually the bb ricoched back and did hit him below the eye (ironically) --- knocking his glasses fell off and he couldnt see so he stepped on them -(oh no- pulverized-!) -LOL then he made up the icycle story and got away with it-- great little moment in childhood. We all had that one great moment when we got away with something big, and mom or dad never found out - maybe MUCH later-- ----maybe.

What I love Christmas day is that they usually have a 24 hr marathon of "A Christmas Story" on TBS or something which means that it's shown twelve times in a 24hr period and I watch it like 6 or 7 times out of those twelve. I LOVE IT.

Saw this movie when it first came out in theaters. It's the greatest story ever told!! Never gets old!!!

yeah the recoil made the stock hit him in the face and it broke his glasses, he lied to his mother and said an icicle fell on his face
