Now Culkin is apparently moving into the increasingly attention-grabbing world of TV video game adaptations Term report tonight that the Home alone star/pizza cover artist has signed on for a role on Prime Videos Fallout show.

Fallout is gearing up for its second season, after the first did a surprisingly good job of capturing at least some of the tone of the game series it draws from – two parts existentially bleak and one part absurdly silly, roughly speaking.
