Look At His Resume! he was in a TON of really great films and TV episodes. If not the star then a supporting character you remember! (In fact, his starring roles while good were not as great as the rest)
His presence in any film made every actor in it better. He lead by example, through modesty, honesty and just being a nice guy!

Probably because this film is coming out, Macauley Culkin has mentioned that during making Uncle Buck John Candy was one of the first and few people to notice how abusive Culkin's father was.
He's said it in the past before, though its probably coming up again because of this movie. Macauley is unfortunately super wierd and says a lot of odd stuff so people have tuned him out for a long time.
Like making a band entirely singing about how much you love cheese pizza.
That's coming from someone who considers his final movie, Richie Rich, a big guilty pleasure. That movie gets genuinely GOOD in places, with a couple of badass moments.
TBH, I kind of had a brief Mandela effect moment where I doubted myself that someone else starred in The Great Outdoors instead of Candy when I didn't see it on either list.
There are a whole bunch of slop modern articles claiming that Candy did it as a favor to John Hughes. And that Candy was unhappy with the payout once Home Alone was a hit.

He was paid $414 for his role in Home Alone... 🙄

Probably didn't help that he got heavily typecast very early in his career.
I have immense sympathy for Culkin.

I can't believe two of us missed The Great Outdoors, lol. That's just inexcusable

That's very odd.
The Gong Show paid its winners $516.32, which was NOT a random number--that was the SAG-mandated minimum salary for a day's work.
That was in the 1970s.
He got paid less than that for Home Alone?
The minimum today is $1,246 per day for a basic theatrical role, if anyone's wondering.
