Macaulay Culkin
Macaulay Culkin, born on August 26, 1980, is a prominent American actor who became a household name after starring in John Hughes's 1990 blockbuster, Home Alone. This role catapulted him to the forefront as one of the most recognized child actors of the 1990s.
In 1991, he featured in Only the Lonely and delivered a memorable performance in the critically praised film My Girl. Culkin reprised his iconic character Kevin in the sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), which also achieved significant box office success. He took a darker turn in his next project, The Good Son (1993), portraying a profoundly disturbed child.
Culkin maintained a consistent presence in film, appearing in several projects during the early 1990s, including The Nutcracker (1993), Getting Even with Dad (1994), The Pagemaster (1994), and the lead role in Richie Rich (1994). However, in his early twenties, he began to step back from the limelight, taking on fewer acting roles to explore other creative avenues.
In the early 2000s, Culkin made a return to the stage, acting in the play Madame Melville, which toured from London to Off-Broadway in New York. His adult film career began with Party Monster (2003), portraying the infamous party promoter Michael Alig, and followed by roles in Saved! (2004), and other films like Sex and Breakfast (2007) and Changeland (2019). Culkin has also made notable television appearances, including roles in Will & Grace, Kings, and American Horror Story, while lending his voice to Robot Chicken.
Beyond acting, Culkin pursued writing, releasing a novel titled Junior (2005), and engaged in music with a band called the Pizza Underground that humorously reinterpreted Velvet Underground songs. In 2017, he launched Bunny Ears, a comedic
