Actor Rory Culkin: Filmography, photos, personal life

Kalkin is a surname, which for most viewers causes associations only with the actor, who became famous thanks to the comedy "One at home". But Kevin is not the only star in the family. Rory Culkin, who spent the first years of his life in the shadow of his famous older brother, is about to bypass his popularity and number of vivid roles. The young man who started filming in the movie early, by the time he was 26, had appeared in about 30 film projects.

Rory Culkin: the biography of the star

The American actor was born in New York, and there was a joyful event in 1989. Rory Kalkin became the 7th son of his parents: he has four brothers and two sisters (the eldest daughter was killed in a car accident at the age of 29).

Childhood years of the star can hardly be called happy. His father Keith in the past was known as a theatrical actor who glittered in famous productions. Most likely, from him the famous children and inherited their ability to act. However, after the first successes of Macaulay's son, who became popular at a young age, the man concentrated on the career of his children. Rory Culkin, like other children of China, was forced to literally grow on the set.

It is interesting that in adulthood only three of Kita's descendants continued to act in film, among which there was also a younger son.

Debut in the cinema

The boy was only four years old when his first appearance on the screen occurred. Then in the drama "Good Son" did not even Rory Kalkin himself, but his photo, since the director needed a "child shot" of his older brother who was playing in the same film. Relatives really look alike, often people take a younger brother for Kevin from the comedy "Alone at home."

Already in 1994, a small actor again depicts the children's version of Macaulay, this occurs in the comedy "The Rich Richie." It is interesting that in 2002 Rory will have to likewise replace his second brother, who also became the star of the cinema - Kiran.

First successes

For some time the directors did not see a full-fledged actor in the younger representative of the Kalkin family, able to cope with the real roles. He was filmed in the movies, only fulfilling the conditions of the enterprising father of Kit, who demanded that one of his offsprings play with Macaulay. Thus, the pope tried to make celebrities of all his children. But the situation changed when Rory Culkin got a role in the movie "Can you count on me", which was released in 2000.

The director, impressed with the actor's talent of the child, who at that time was already about 11 years old, invited him to play a character in the background. The hero of the younger Kalkin was Rudi, he grew up with his mother, who brought up her son in solitude. The boy dreamed of meeting with his father, of whom he knew nothing, in his fantasies the pope became a superhero. This role brought Rory the first in his life a serious award.

It is interesting that during the filming of Kalkin at first was so clamped that it was specially tickled to force to laugh. Gradually, the phobia of the camera disappeared.

The best work in the cinema

In 2002, a mystical picture of "Signs" was presented to the public, in which the young actor also took part. Morgan Hess - that was the name of the character played by Rory Culkin. The filmography of the rising star acquired the first successful film project, after which, finally, only the younger brother of "Kevin" ceased to see him.

Popularity among spectators is won also by the tape "The Cruel Stream", in which he plays in 2004. The character of a 15-year-old is Sam. The hero has trouble with a classmate known as a school storm. Sam complains to his older brother, the guys agree on revenge, for which they convince the hooligan George to ride with them on the boat. The walk ends very badly. The actor himself in the interview did not recommend viewing a mixed picture of children and adolescents.

I remember the image created by the actor in the thriller "It happened in the valley". In it, he got the role of the brother of the main character. He also filmed in other successful films, for example, "Zodiac", "Scream 4".

"Luxurious life"

At the moment, Scott Bartlett - the most famous of all characters, whose images over the years of filming created by Rory Culkin. Photo, which is a frame from the "Luxury Life", released in 2008, can be seen below. Next to Rory stands his brother Kieran.

Scott - an ordinary American teenager from the 70's. He suffers from an undivided passion for a neighbor, feels a sense of loneliness. The situation worsens when the guy's father starts an affair with the mother of the object of his love. It is further complicated by the fact that residents of the suburbs in which their families live are one by one victims of a terrible epidemic.

Rory Culkin and Macaulay Kalkin are siblings, but their approach to work is very different. Younger son of China pays maximum attention to the preparation for each of his roles, the picture "Luxurious Life" has not become an exception. It is known that the tape script was provided to him four long years before the shooting process began, he spent a lot of time thinking about the personality and actions of his hero.

Personal life

Fans, the number of which is constantly increasing, also want to know who Rory Culkin is meeting. The personal life of the 26-year-old actor, unfortunately, is kept secret, he is only sometimes attributed to the relations with colleagues on the set. Apparently, the young man is focused on building his career.

The love of work does not mean that younger Kalkin never allows himself to rest. One of his favorite occupations is painting, in which he achieved significant success. Also the guy relaxes, indulging in playing drums, but music remains for him just a hobby.
