Ralphie’s younger brother in the 1983 film A Christmas Story is named Randy Parker.
Randy is played by Ian Petrella, while Peter Billingsley plays Ralphie. The film is set in the fictional Indiana town of Hohman during the 1940s and follows Ralphie’s determined campaign to receive a coveted Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.
Randy contributes several memorable family scenes. He hides beneath the kitchen sink during a stressful moment, demonstrates how a little piggy eats, and is bundled into heavy winter clothing by his mother. These moments show the family’s everyday life beyond Ralphie’s main Christmas wish.
The film was directed by Bob Clark and adapted from stories by Jean Shepherd, including material from In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash. Randy is often remembered simply as “Ralphie’s little brother,” but the film clearly identifies him by name.
