Where are they now: the cast of Home Alone

HOME ALONE is one of those Christmas TV staples we find it hard to turn off whenever we come across it.

The sequels were good – but there’s nothing like the original.

Here’s what the cast is up to now:

1. Devin Ratray, aka the insufferable older brother Buzz, has mostly laid low, but is currently shooting R.I.P.D. alongside Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Bacon.
1/11
2. Catherine O'Hara continues to be formidably awesome in films like Away We Go and For Your Consideration. We particularly loved her in Orange County.
2/11
3. Same goes for John Heard, who was in the recent series The Chicago Code and will next appear in the Brittany Snow flick Would You Rather.
3/11
4. John Candy passed away in 1994 aged 43.
4/11
5. Roberts Blossom, Kevin's frightening old neighbour with a heart of gold, passed away earlier this year aged 87.
5/11
6. Bonus: did you know Hope Davis (Mildred Pierce, In Treatment) was the French ticket agent in the movie?
6/11
7. Oscar winner Joe Pesci was recently in The Good Shepherd.
7/11
8. Daniel Stern most recently popped up in Whip It!
8/11
9. Michael Maronna, who played the brother named Jeff, now works as an electrician on film sets. (He also was the big Pete on Pete & Pete.)
9/11
10. Macaulay Culkin is rarely heard from these days (he testified on Michael Jackson's behalf and attended the star's funeral). And randomly, mere weeks ago, he hosted a party called Macaulay Culkin's iPod at a bar in Manhattan's West Village. So there's that.
10/11
11. He was a tot in the movie, but now Macaulay's kid brother Kieran is working steadily in Hollywood with films like Igby Goes Down and Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
