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

from child acting. 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

for a Golden Globe for his perfor-
mance as the aloof, wise-crack-
ing, underachieving 17-year-old
Igby, whose coming-of-age story
unfolds as he tries to escape the
world of his toxic elite New York
family. 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:

mance in “Igby Goes Down,”

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.”
