However, his breakout success as a child did not carry over into his teens and adult life and nabbed few roles in major motion pictures.
Culkin lent his voice to characters in Seth Green’s animated comedy Robot Chicken.
The actor is currently working on a military comedy called Service Man, which is scheduled for release in July 2011.
