Charlie Calvin, Scott’s young son, was played by 8-year-old Eric Lloyd, who is now 36. Lloyd has appeared in nearly 40 roles since then, including a recent cameo in “The Santa Clauses,” where he once again took on the character of Charlie.
Wendy Crewson, who played Laura Miller, has remained active in the industry, accumulating around 150 credits, including a recent role in “Pretty Hard Cases.” At 66, she continues to impress audiences with her performances.

The film’s memorable elf, Bernard, was portrayed by David Krumholtz, who has built a successful career with over 120 credits, including a recent return to the role in “The Santa Clauses.” Now 44, Krumholtz remains a familiar face on screen.
Other cast members, such as Paige Tamata and Larry Brandenburg, have also continued their acting careers, while some, like Peter Boyle, who passed away in 2006, left a lasting legacy through their performances.
