Macaulay Culkin

Born Macaulay Carson Culkin, the actor rose to fame in John Hughes's 1990 box office hit Home Alone, quickly becoming one of the most famous child actors of the 1990s. He then appeared in Only the Lonely and costarred in the highly acclaimed My Girl, both released in 1991. In 1992, Culkin reprised his role as Kevin in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which also performed well at the box office. This marked a significant departure from his previous work, as seen in the dark and disturbing The Good Son, where he played a deeply troubled child. After a steady stream of films throughout the 1990s, including The Nutcracker, Getting Even with Dad, The Pagemaster, and Richie Rich, Culkin stepped back from acting in his early twenties to explore other creative pursuits. He later returned to acting, starring in plays like Madame Melville and films such as Party Monster, Saved!, Sex and Breakfast, and Adam Green's Aladdin.
