It's hard to believe it's been almost 25 years since Home Alone first hit the big screen.

It's a Christmas staple now, having launched the young career of its child star Macaulay Culkin, who is celebrating his 35th birthday today.

That's right - little Kevin McCallister is all grown up, with the actor behind the role lately becoming more accustomed to bar shows with his covers band The Pizza Underground.

After starring in Home Alone, Culkin went on to appear in Only the Lonely and My Girl, before reprising his most famous role in the 1992 sequel Lost In New York.

The next two years saw him in the likes of The Good Son, Getting Even With Dad and Richie Rich - with his big screen roles becoming more infrequent over the last decade.

He also became a friend to the stars, not only being close to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, but also dating Mila Kunis for around eight years before their split in 2010.

Most recently, he has been seen on stage with The Pizza Underground - a food-based covers band playing Velvet Underground hits - and being the subject of an online death hoax.

Joe Pesci - Harry

By the time he starred as burglar Harry in Home Alone, Joe Pesci already had a very impressive resume in Hollywood.

He picked up a BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer in Raging Bull (1980), and a decade later got an Oscars for Best Supporting Actor as he one again teamed up with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese.

The trio worked together again in 1995 on Casino, whilst he has films like JFK, Gone Fishin' and Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 amongst his credits heading into the new millenium.

Since the turn of the century, he made a cameo appearance in The Good Shepherd, before starring in Love Ranch in 2010 - and he has lent his voice to the character of Komar in the English version of Savva. Heart of the Warrior.

Like his friend Pesci, Daniel Stern enjoyed success before Home Alone in the likes of Breaing Away, It's My Turn and City Slickers.

After taking on the role of hapless criminal Marv - which he reprised alongside Pesci's Harry in the sequel - he would go on to star in Bushwhacked, as well as narrating The Wonder Years TV series.

He has also done a lot of volunteering work, including through the Malibu Foundation for Youth and Families, his services towards education and visiting US troops on Iraq in 2003.

In 2009, he was given the President's Call to Service Award by Barack Obama, which is the nation's highest honour for volunteering.

Roles in the likes of Beetlejuice highlighted Catherine O'Hara's career before Home Alone came knocking.

Since then, she has forged an incredible CV across TV and film, including voicing Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas and roles in the likes of Chicken Little and The Life Before This.

She's seen success on the small screen, playing Carol Ward in a number of episodes of Six Feet Under.

Catherine also joined the cast of Glenn Martin, DDS for two seasons as Jackie Martin.

Although John Heard's role as Kevin's dad Peter is one of his best-known, he has kept incredibly busy over the las four decades.

He appeared in 1992's Gladiator as John Riley, and is credited with a role in at least one movie every year since 1987.

The one exception was 1995, although he was still active as he appeared in American Masters, The Outer Limits and The Client on the small screen.

His roles are still varied - and two years ago he even starred as George in disaster spoof Sharknado.

Devin Ratray - Buzz McCallister

The part of bullying big brother Buzz is still Devin Ratray's most famous role, but the 36-year-old actor has stayed in the industry after reprising his role in 1992.

He regularly appearance as an improv star on MTV show Damage Control, and landed a role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

In more recent years, he has seen more success - and in 2013 he starred in both Nebraska and Blue Ruin.

He is also in a band called Little Bill and the Beckleys, performing as the band's singer, guitarist and lyricist.

The late Roberts Blossom gave a stellar performance as Kevin's misunderstand neighbour Old Man Marley.

However, whilst he kept busy until the end of the 1990s, his final big screen credit was 1995's The Quick and the Dead.

He went on to make appearances in television films like The American Clock (1993) and Balloon Farm (1999) before his retirement - after which he spent his time writing poetry.

Tragically, he passed away in 2011 after an acute stroke aged 87.
