PETER BILLINGSLEY (Executive Producer) has been a member of the Hollywood community since he was a small child, achieving success and accolades both behind the scenes and in front of camera. The highly successful child actor-turned-producer received an Emmy Award nomination in 2005 as co-executive producer on the critically acclaimed Independent Film Channel’s “Dinner for Five” with Jon Favreau. He also served as executive producer on the hit summer film “The Break-Up” and the documentary “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland.” Billingsley is currently executive-producing “Four Christmases” starring Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon.
Billingsley also served as co-producer on the Artisan Entertainment film “Made” starring Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, and Sony’s recent science fiction release “Zathura,” both directed by Favreau.
Billingsley recently became a principal in Wild West Picture Show Productions. The production company, founded by Vince Vaughn, currently has a first-look production deal with Universal Studios.
Growing up in the public eye, Billingsley began his acting career at the age of three in some of the ’70s’ most memorable television commercials. After appearing on numerous television shows and films during his youth, the Emmy Award-nominated actor delivered a performance for the ages in the beloved holiday film “A Christmas Story.” Playing humorist Jean Shephard’s youthful alter-ego Ralphie, Billingsley’s repeated requests in the film for a genuine Red Ryder B-B gun quickly catapulted the actor to instant stardom and has since driven the film into pop culture lore as the classic modern day Christmas tale.
Born in New York City, Billingsley currently resides in Los Angeles.
