• Waco, the 2018 Paramount Network miniseries, is now streaming on Netflix.
• Rory Culkin portrays David Thibodeau, one of the residents living on the Mount Carmel compound.
• Here are a few things to know about the youngest Culkin brother.

The miniseries Waco, now on Netflix, tells the true story of a 51-day standoff between the Branch Davidians and the FBI/ATF, which ended in a catastrophic fire that killed 76 people living on the Mount Carmel compound.

In the first episode, viewers are introduced to David Thibodeau, a drummer who befriends cult leader David Koresh and later moves to the compound. Thibodeau is played by Rory Culkin, perhaps best known for his roles in movies like Signs and Scream 4 (and, yes, being a brother to Macaulay and Kieran).

Want to learn a little more about the youngest Culkin actor? Here's what you need to know.

Culkin is part of a well-known acting family

As the youngest of seven, Culkin comes from a line of successful actors. His brother, Macaulay, was a bona fide child star in the early 1990s, starring in films like Home Alone and My Girl. (Macaulay also recently started a podcast.) Meanwhile, Kieran has appeared in movies like Father of the Bride, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and She’s All That. You might also recognize him from his roles in FX's Fargo and HBO's Succession.

Culkin is also the nephew of late actress Bonnie Bedelia.

Fans might recognize Culkin from some classic films

Culkin’s breakout role came in 2000 with the film You Can Count on Me, starring Laura Linney, Mark Ruffalo, and Matthew Broderick. Since then, he's appeared in films like M. Night Shyamalan's Signs, The Night Listener, Zodiac, and Lords of Chaos. He also played the role of Charlie Walker in the 2011 Scream 4, alongside against David Arquette, Courteney Cox, and Neve Campbell.

A WWE presenter officiated Culkin’s wedding

In 2018, Culkin married Sarah Scrivener in New Orleans over Wrestlemania weekend—an ideal location for the couple, as self-proclaimed wrestling fans. “We’re all about the villains,” Culkin joked on Live With Kelly and Ryan about the ceremony. WWE presenter, Paul Heyman, even officiated the nuptials.

Culkin was concerned about playing a real person in Waco

When Culkin signed on to play Thibodeau in the miniseries, he was concerned about taking on the role of someone who was still alive. “This was the first time I had to sort of share a role with someone and I was a little concerned about that going in," he said back in 2018. "After meeting with Thibodeau, I wanted to make [the role] ours and it was the most collaborative experience I’ve had.”
