Few people know that in the first two Home Alone movies, the role of Fuller was played by Kieran Culkin, Macaulay Culkin's real-life brother. He will turn 42 this fall.
The Culkin family was rooted in the performing arts, with father Christopher Cornelius being a former Broadway actor and mother Patricia Brentrup working as a telephone operator.
With a large family of four brothers and two sisters, Kieran made his stage debut at the age of two, participating in a production at Symphony Space. Six years later, he made his film debut in Home Alone.

Kieran managed to step out of his brother's shadow. Following a standout role in the drama "The Mighty" (1998), he was actively cast in various films such as Father of the Bride, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Dangerous Games, Igby Goes Down, and, of course, the TV series Succession.
Notably, he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Actor – Television Series Drama. Kieran admitted that this role made him realize his true calling was to be an actor.

In an interview, Kieran shared that he tried to remember the exact moment when the thought first hit him. He recalled it being towards the end of filming the first season. The actor remembered coming home and realizing that he wanted to pursue acting as his career. At the time, Kieran was around 36 years old and had been acting for 30 years.
As for his personal life, Kieran Culkin married Jazz Charton in 2013. Six years later, they had a daughter, and in 2021, a son was born.
