Editor's Take:
Kieran Culkin spent decades in his famous brother's shadow before becoming a star in his own right. As a child he appeared in family films, and he later earned praise in independent dramas such as Igby Goes Down. Succession gave him the role of his career. His Roman Roy, the crude and needy youngest son, mixed comedy with surprising sadness. The part brought him an Emmy and a Golden Globe. His Oscar for A Real Pain capped a remarkable run of awards.
