‘I enjoy acting. I enjoy being on set. I don’t enjoy a lot of the other things that come around it,’ Culkin explained to Esquire this month.

‘No matter how much I act like a curmudgeonly old man, it’s still fun to get back in the saddle once in a while and play around.’

Last year, the Bunny Ears podcaster portrayed a drunken tour boat operator in his buddy Seth Green’s directorial debut Changeland, and he guest-starred in Hulu’s Dollface and WWE’s The Edge and Christian Show.
