Officer Balzak
Have you ever asked a person for help only for them to respond to you with a bunch of useless questions first? You don’t have time to explain a situation, you just need help right at that very second before it’s too late. Well, Officer Balzak is that useless person in the movie.
He also has a hilarious name that would not really appear again in the other sequels to Home Alone. Officer Balzak would just pick up the phone during Christmas and not really do his job as a police officer. Instead, he would eat donuts and ask unrelated questions to Kate, which drove her crazy.
