This guy was awesome 20 years ago in igby goes down and totally f****** rocked Scott Pilgrim.

It's nice he is getting awards for him, but he's been great a long time.

His character in succession is … a ride

Apparently he connected with the character because there were similarities between himself and the character he portrayed, it was almost like method acting for him because they were both so similar

Scott Pilgrim was the first thing I saw him in and I loved his character in that. I'm really glad that he ended up getting the recognition he deserves.

You missed his greatest performance as Fuller, a child who wets the bed if he drinks too much Pepsi.

Okay, fair point. I guess that's technically the first time I saw him. Lol

Igby Goes Down was a goddamn amazing movie.

Kieran is to the Culkin family as Elizabeth is to the Olsen family. They WAY more talented younger sibling is doing great things. It's like reverse nepotism.
