Kieran Culkin, now an Emmy-winning actor, didn't realize he wanted to pursue acting until halfway through the first season of Succession. In a conversation with Jesse Eisenberg at the Tribeca Festival, Culkin discussed his decades-long career. He revealed that his manager had pointed out that acting had been thrust upon him since childhood, leading to a crisis in his early 20s. It wasn't until he felt comfortable on the set of a film in 2017 that he decided to make acting his career. Culkin explained that Succession changed his perspective on acting, forcing him to adapt and find freedom in the unknown. The two actors star together in the upcoming film A Real Pain, where they portray mismatched cousins on a journey through Poland. Culkin's unique approach to acting impressed Eisenberg, showing his versatility. A Real Pain is set to release on Oct 18.
