Shane Culkin Biography

Christian Culkin with one of his brother

Shane Arliss Culkin was born on January 6, 1976 (age: 47 years, as of 2023), in New York City, New York, USA. He is the first child of Kit Culkin, a former stage and child actor, and Patricia Brentrup, a telephone operator. He has six younger siblings: Dakota Culkin (1979-2008), Macaulay Culkin (b. 1980), Kieran Culkin (b. 1982), Quinn Culkin (b. 1984), Christian Culkin (b. 1987), and Rory Culkin (b. 1989). He also had a paternal half-sister, Jennifer Culkin (1970-2000), who died of a drug overdose.

Shane Culkin grew up in a small apartment in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan, and struggled financially with his family. He attended a Catholic school and later graduated from the Professional Children’s School, a private school for young actors and performers.

Brief Acting Career

Shane Culkin tried acting as a teenager and appeared in one episode of the series Great Performances in 1989. He played Wally Webb in the episode “Our Town”, which was based on the classic play by Thornton Wilder. The episode also featured Spalding Gray, Penelope Ann Miller, and Eric Stoltz. Shane’s performance was well-received by critics, who praised his natural and charming portrayal of the young character.

However, he did not pursue acting further and decided to live a private life away from the spotlight. He has only one IMDb credit for his appearance in Great Performances, and he has not been involved in any other film or TV projects since then.

He and his siblings sided with Macaulay and cut off contact with their father, who later moved to Oregon and remarried.

He has expressed his grief and sorrow over the deaths of his sister Dakota and his half-sister Jennifer, who both struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues. He has also paid tribute to them on social media and in interviews, and has shared his memories and photos of them.
