Culkin began his career as a child actor and made his feature film debut alongside his older brother, Macaulay Culkin, in Home Alone (1990). He had small roles in Father of the Bride (1991) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), followed by his first leading role in The Mighty (1998). After appearing in She's All That (1999) and The Cider House Rules (1999), Culkin had his breakout role as a sardonic teenager in the independent film Igby Goes Down (2002), which earned a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

He also won an Obie Award for Gina Gionfriddo's play After Ashley (2005). He worked intermittently in film, playing Wallace Wells in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) and a supporting role in Margaret (2011).
