Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin (born Macaulay Carson Culkin; August 26, 1980) is an American actor who rose to fame in John Hughes’s 1990 box office hit Home Alone and quickly became one of the most famous child actors of the 1990s. He next appeared in Only the Lonely and costarred in the highly acclaimed My Girl, both released in 1991. Culkin returned to his star-making role as Kevin in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), which also performed well at the box office. Culkin’s next role, a dramatic turn from his previous work, was in the dark and disturbing The Good Son (1993), in which he played a deeply troubled child. Culkin continued to work steadily, appearing in one more film that year and in three films the next year—The Nutcracker (1993), Getting Even with Dad (1994), The Pagemaster (1994), and, in the title role, Richie Rich (1994)—before taking a step back from acting in his early 20s to act occasionally and to pursue other creative opportunities. Meanwhile, Culkin had returned to acting in the early 2000s. He starred in the play Madame Melville, which opened in London in 2000 and moved to New York City (Off-Broadway) the next year. His first movie as an adult was Party Monster (2003), in which he played the murderous party promoter Michael Alig. It was closely followed by his role in Saved! (2004), a comedy in which he played a high-school student whose sister is a Christian zealot. Later films included Sex and Breakfast (2007), The Wrong Ferrari (2011), Adam Green’s Aladdin (2016), and Changeland (2019). During this time he also worked in television, notably making appearances on Will & Grace, in 2003; Foster Hall, in 2004; Kings, in 2009; Dollface, in 2019; American Horror Story, in 2021; and The Righteous Gemstones, in 2022. Culkin lent his voice to Robot Chicken (2001– ) and appeared as himself in The Jim Gaffigan Show (2015–16). Culkin pursued other creative interests as well. He wrote a novel, Junior (2005), which is the story of a young star who has a troubled relationship with his father; while ostensibly fiction, it appeared to have many similarities to Culkin’s own experiences with his father. Culkin also dabbled in music. He formed a band called the Pizza Underground that performed the songs of the Velvet Underground but with the lyrics humorously revised to incorporate a pizza theme. Pizza Underground went on a brief tour in 2014. In 2017 Culkin created the comedy website and accompanying podcast Bunny Ears, which was a satiric riff on wellness and lifestyle brands.
John Rambo receives a letter from a man named Corbin, who claims he matched Rambo from an online DNA test. It turns out that Rambo had fathered a son with a Ukrainian immigrant during his brief return to the States after the events of "First Blood Part II", although Rambo has no recollection of it. The two have a father-son bonding experience before Corbin returns to his mother's homeland to teach at a university. A few months later, Russia invades Ukraine. Corbin is able to contact his father one last time before the Russians bombard the city and kill scores of civilians, asking Rambo to rescue him. Worried that his son has been killed or captured, Rambo meets with a group of sixteen foreign fighters who came to aid Ukraine. They make their way to Corbin's town, but are wiped out in an ambush at the university, leaving Rambo and three others as the only survivors. When the four men are taken to the university square, it is revealed that Corbin is the leader of the forces that captured the northeastern-most part of the country. He tells Rambo the truth: He is Kazimir Podovsky, the son of Lieutenant Colonel Podovsky, Rambo's nemesis from 1985. Rambo promises to kill Kazimir. The survivors are taken to a prison camp in Siberia to be worked to death. Rambo eventually escapes to Ukraine and kills Kazimir, Vladimir Putin, and Steven Segal. He returns to the States and becomes intrigued when Jehovah's Witnesses show him a Bible promise of a world without war.
