[edit] Career
Culkin was born in New York City, the son of Patricia Brentrup and Christopher 'Kit' Culkin, a former stage actor with a long career on Broadway.[1] The brother of child actor Macaulay Culkin, Kieran Culkin debuted at the age of eight in a small role alongside his brother in Home Alone.
He continued acting as a child and teenager, mainly working in comedies, including Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Father of the Bride and its sequel. As a teenager, he alternated between lead roles in independent films and small parts in mainstream films.
His most notable role to date is probably the title character in the well received film Igby Goes Down, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. He has also appeared in the Academy Award-nominated movie Music of the Heart.
Recently, Culkin played Buff in Eric Bogosian's updated version of SubUrbia at the Second Stage Theatre in New York .
