Macaulay Carson Culkin (informally Mack) (born
August 26, 1980, New York, USA) was from
1990–1994 the highest-paid child actor ever.

He achieved massive success starring as "Kevin" in
the two Home Alone (1990, 1992) movies, capturing
the minds of many young movie-goers as he
outsmarted two bungling burglars with clever
homemade traps. He had less success with the more
serious The Good Son (1993 movie)|The Good Son
(1993), but other children's films such as The
Pagemaster and Richie Rich (movie)|Richie Rich
kept him a popular mainstream child actor.

Culkin's father was his manager in the early years
of his acting career. Macaulay stopped making
movies at the age of 14, when his parents
separated and went to court over the control of
their business and the custody of the kids. The
court case went on for several years and ended in
April 1997, when his father decided to withdraw
from the case. He has claimed numerous times that
his father, http://www.kitculkin.com/ Christopher
"Kit" Culkin, was abusive. Culkin has had no
contact with his father since 1996, except for a
telegram in which his father congratulated him on
the continuation of his acting career. Culkin
enjoys theatre and made a well-heralded return to
theatre in the 2000/2001 season, when he starred
opposite Irène Jacob in Madame Melville.


Culkin is a close friend of Michael Jackson and
godfather of Jackson's first son and daughter.
Jackson and Culkin can be seen in a home video
compilation Jackson released
(Michael_Jackson#Miscellaneous|Michael Jackson's
Private Home Movies); they are shown playing and
going on holidays together when Culkin was 10 and
11 years of age (they cruised the Caribbean in
1991). Jackson also claimed that Culkin and his
siblings slept in the same bed with Jackson. 
Culkin said at the age of twenty, "We talk all the
time. I think we understand each other in a way
that most people can't understand either of us."
