All 5 Culkin brothers – Macaulay, Kieran, Rory, Christian and Shane – just made their collective debut in Prime Video’s animated series The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy

All 5 started out as child actors, though less is known about Rory, Christian and Shane, and 2 of the men no longer talk to their father Kit – here’s everything we know about them

It’s no secret that Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin hails from a large family, but who would have thought that all four of his brothers would get into acting too?

While his brother Kieran has undoubtedly made a name for himself in Hollywood thanks to HBO’s Succession, less is known about the other three male Culkins – Rory, Christian and Shane, who also started out as child actors.

And now we’re getting all five of them together in the same show! The Culkin brothers just made their collective debut in new Prime Video animated series titled The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy.

Apparently, it was all thanks to Natasha Lyonne, who executive produced and co-stars in the show and is long-time friends with Kieran and Macaulay Culkin.

Showrunner Cirocco Dunlap told The Hollywood Reporter that Macaulay’s character in the animation happened to have four brothers, which worked out well for casting. “When we cast Kieran we were like, ‘You have four brothers! That’s ridiculous, what fate’”, Dunlap told the industry publication. “Kieran was the one who suggested it, he was like, ‘We could get my brothers’ and I was like, ‘What? Yes, yes we should.’ And they’re so wonderful, they’re so funny, they’re very empathic and very sweet.”

“I’m the Culkin whisperer it turns out,” Lyonne joked.
