April/May 2023Photograph By Billy Kidd

A natural at playing a wounded, smart-ass little brother who grew up to have the last laugh, the irreverence is captured here in Kidd’s photograph, Kieran Culkin accumulated plenty of indie cred on his way to a life-altering role as Roman Roy in HBO’s Succession. He followed that up in 2024 with an Oscar-winning performance in A Real Pain.
