#29: Cody Burger as Rocky
Rocky is the quiet, good-natured cousin who tags along with Eddie and Catherine. His shy smile and simple, honest reactions give him a lovable presence in the Griswold household. Even though he doesn’t say much, he adds to the charm of the visiting relatives and helps round out the extended family chaos.
When the film was made, Cody Burger was a young actor just beginning to appear in movies. His natural, relaxed performance style made him a great fit for child roles, and Christmas Vacation gave him one of his most recognized early credits. It offered him a fun moment in a major holiday classic.
