Renata Anderson Hearing 2 x 5 celeb bio Kieran Culkin Passion forged in adversity Kieran Culkin’s career trajec- tory has been extremely unique. Not only was he a child actor, but one from a tight-knit, dynastic Hollywood family. Culkin grew up in the spotlight and had to start contending with the pressures of fame and dysfunctional family life from a young age. Born in 1982 to Patricia Brentrup and Kit Culkin, Kieran embarked on his acting career in 1990 when he played a minor role opposite his older brother, Macaulay Culkin, in “Home Alone.” His early work was largely thrust upon him, as his father leveraged the success of the young Macaulay to gain bargaining power and influence in Hollywood, infamously pres- suring his other children into high-profile performance careers as well. While the notorious tyranny of the Culkin patriarch made childhood isolating and painful for the siblings, Kieran has ultimately enjoyed success and acclaim from the emotional com- plexity of his acting. He began to emerge from the shadow of his ESTERN ADIATOR Best Place in Town to Take a Leak! t yler B urnett M anaGer 541-276-6468 westernradiator@gmail.com 1008 SE Court Pl.

Culkin shared with Vanity Fair that Steer would often interrupt his dialogue in the middle of a take to say, “Kieran, that was Nickelodeon. Go back.” Some of Kieran’s big roles have seemed to eerily parallel the ac- tor’s own life. He was nominated more famous brother with his first major role as Igby in Burr Steer’s 2002 film “Igby Goes Down.” Culkin attributes much of his ar- tistic growth to the time he spent working with Steer, who took a vested interest in making him “unlearn” some mediocre habits LET US MEAT YOUR NEEDS PORK BOX $ 50 BOX INCLUDES: • 4 Pork Chops • 2 Pork Steak • 1 Pork Roast • 3 Pkgs Pork Sausage • 2 Pkgs Bacon • 2 Ham Steaks All individually packaged for your convenience. 541.567.2011 EAST OREGON EVENTS 253 W.

He starred in the second season of “Fargo,” in which he played Rye Gerhardt, the son of a local crime matriarch in Min- nesota; his character’s killing spurs the drama of the season as the investigation stirs up secrets. In his current role as Roman Roy in HBO’s “Succession,” Kieran is yet again playing an adult son in a powerful, cutthroat family. In an interview with The Playlist, Culkin expressed that it has been great fun, and even “therapeutic,” to play the conniving, sociopathic Roman: “I know people like that in my life, and sometimes it’s in- credibly frustrating,” he said, ex- plaining that the role has helped him to gain an understanding of some of the situations that have played out in his own life. Though Kieran’s childhood was fraught with emotional trauma and the intense pressures of fame, he has found both critical success and artistic fulfilment in the career that he has forged. The Season 2 premiere of “Succession” airs Sunday, Aug. 11, on HBO. FACTS: - Before his acclaimed perfor- mance in “Igby Goes Down,” Kieran played many small roles in well-known films like “Father of the Bride” (1991) and “She’s All That” (1999) - He is one of seven Culkin siblings - Married to former model Jazz Charton - Spent the first nine years of his life living with his large family in a very tiny apartment - Is also known for his role in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” (2010) - In “Home Alone” (1990), he played Kevin McAllister’s cousin, Fuller, who routinely wet the bed - Despite being estranged from his father, Kieran has a strong re- lationship with his mother, Patricia QUOTES: “Because I’ve been acting since I was six, I suddenly, at the age of 20, found myself with a career. ... It took until I was 33 to be like, ‘Oh, I know what I want to do. It’s what I’ve been doing!” “I’m very happy sitting on the couch watching TV all day long. I never had a moment’s existential angst.” East Oregonian and Hermiston Herald | August 7, 2019 Screentime | 13
