Macaulay Culkin’s most amazing roles will make you scream

Based on real events, Culkin played “King of the Kids Club” Michael Aligwho spent nearly 17 years in prison for manslaughter after he and Robert “Freeze” Riggs another New York nightlife fan is killed and dismembered Andre “Angel” Melendez in 1996. Riggs also served time in prison for involuntary manslaughter.

To prepare for the role, Culkin visited Alig behind bars, telling Barbara Walters in 2003: “We spent four hours in prison. I’ve never been to prison before. I was just listening and watching his hands move… He seemed repentant, but at the same time he put on this facade. He was doing Michael Elig for me, a wild and crazy guy.”

When asked if he had a dark side, the then 25-year-old actor said: “I guess you could say that. But not as dark as him. It’s so easy to see me as this mean, little That bad little, like, you know, blond guy who’s causing trouble for everyone.

In addition, he remembered Hare’s Ears on the glam-rock look that was important to Michael: “I’ve always felt pretty, but that’s where I found out that I’m actually pretty. It taught me to fully understand why women spend so much time getting ready. It was worth it and I looked amazing.”

Acknowledging his long hiatus from the spotlight, Culkin, who appeared in his first film since Ri¢hie Ri¢hsaid Walters, “I don’t want to do what I used to do. It used to be, you know, it was like people’s livelihoods were at stake… They kind of made an industry out of me. It was just such a weird dynamic that I felt made me uncomfortable for most of my young life. I’m not the kind of person who needs the satisfaction of doing 10 movies a year… I’m just trying to be, you know, an artist.”
