Christmas Vacation Cast
Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold
Nothing is going to stand in the way of Clark Griswold hosting his first “fun, old-fashioned family Christmas” — not even lots of sap, getting trapped in the attic, his prized Christmas tree going up in flames, 5,000 imported Italian twinkle lights that aren’t twinkling, or the cheap, lying, no-good Mr. Shirley.

- Three Amigos! (1986)*

Beverly D’Angelo as Ellen Griswold
Clark’s long-suffering wife, Ellen, is the level-headed voice of reason keeping her husband in check. At the end of the day, she just doesn’t “want to spend the holidays dead,” which normally isn’t a lot to ask — unless you’re married to Clark W. Griswold, Jr.

He may be the son of Clark Griswold, but that doesn’t mean he finds the same joy in the holidays as his dad. According to Rusty, he would rather brush his teeth, feed the hog, do his homework, pay the bills, and wash the car before helping Clark check 250,000 individual light bulbs on the roof.
