Nicholas Guest (Todd Chester)

Playing Margo Chester’s husband Todd in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is Nicholas Guest, who is not much of a household name, but has led a pretty impressive career that includes Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, playing opposite his future sister-in-law Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places, and on a Season 5 episode of Mad Men. His true claim to fame, however, is voice acting, from playing various characters in animated Disney classics like Aladdin and Frozen, to blockbuster video games like the Call of Duty franchise, to the dual roles of Martian Manhunter and The Question on Batman: The Brave and the Bold. More recently, in the realm of live action, Guest played a fictional Russian president on Madam Secretary and a recurring role on Guest Appearances, which was created by and starred his daughter, Elizabeth.
