Macaulay Culkin became a household name with his role as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone (1990) and its sequel, becoming one of the most iconic child stars ever. With additional hits like My Girl and Richie Rich, he dominated the early '90s.

Culkin later stepped back from Hollywood, taking an extended break from acting. He returned with notable performances in Saved! He received critical attention as an all-purpose actor in the film American Horror Story: Double Feature (2021). Culkin is doing some personal pursuits and acting undertakings here and there. But his early work is very much known in culture; it continues to fascinate audiences.
