Kieran Culkin
Kieran Culkin, Brian Cox, Nicholas Braun, J. Smith-Cameron, and Alan Ruck reveal what it's really like to perform the fast-paced scenes of "Succession." And when it comes to the vulgar language in those scenes, the expectations go far beyond the limits of the set.

  • Trivia
    Brother of Shane Culkin (b. 1976), Dakota Culkin (1978-2008), Macaulay Culkin (b. 1980), Quinn Culkin (b. 1984), Christian Culkin (b. 1987) and Rory Culkin (b. 1989).
  • Quotes
    Until my brother Mac started making major money, our house was really wild. The outside world didn't know how chaotic our life was because, though we'd live at home like a bunch of little critters, we'd go off to school and act all sedate and normal. Trust me, there is no such thing as normal for a Culkin.
