Ever wondered about the staying power of a truly memorable villain? Harry Lyme, the pint-sized, perpetually frustrated burglar from the Home Alone franchise, isn't just a character; he's a cultural touchstone, a reminder that even the most inept criminals can leave an indelible mark.
Harold "Harry" Lyme, often paired with the equally hapless Marvin "Marv" Murchins, forms the notorious Wet Bandits (later rebranding as the Sticky Bandits). Their misadventures, consistently thwarted by the resourceful Kevin McCallister, are central to the enduring appeal of the Home Alone films. Played with iconic menace and comedic timing by Joe Pesci, Harry is the brains (such as they are) of the operation, his diminutive stature belying a surprisingly fiery temper and unwavering determination to get his hands on some loot, that is. Their targets were initially the opulent and recently remodeled residences in Kevin's neighborhood.
