John Heard
Like O’Hara, John Heard played one of Kevin’s parents – this time, it’s the father, Peter, whom Heard played in the sequel as well. Also, like O’Hara, Heard had a lengthy career after the film and appeared in movies like 2008’s Justice League: The New Frontier and the TV show Prison Break.
However, sadly, Heard passed away in 2017 at the age of 71 after suffering cardiac arrest. His legacy as Peter in Home Alone continues. We will always remember him as playing the character who accidentally threw away the plane ticket at the start of the movie, which caused Kevin to go missing!
