"Fans figured out pretty early (thanks to a shot from the trailer that teased Culkin's unique "ear shape") that he'd be a part of Caesar's Legion, a scrappy militia that has modeled its society loosely after Ancient Rome. Series creator Geneva Robertson-Dworet gave him plenty of leave to explore "a bunch of different performances" that informed the "spectrum" of his character, Lacerta Legate."
"Culkin spearheads plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in Episode 3... but it's not all fun and games for those who oppose the Legion - like Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), who literally gets crucified for defying its archaic, misogynistic laws. Then, there's the civil war that's split the Legion in two, which the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) uses to create even more chaos and bloodshed. Culkin finds himself in the middle of it all in Episode 3, but it's just the beginning for his character."
Macaulay Culkin joined Fallout Season 2 as Lacerta Legate, a member of Caesar's Legion, after producers noticed his suitability and his wife Brenda Song urged him. Fans spotted him early through a trailer shot highlighting his ear shape. Caesar's Legion models its society loosely on Ancient Rome, and series creator Geneva Robertson-Dworet allowed Culkin freedom to explore a spectrum of performances. Episode 3 showcases Culkin's comedic timing but also depicts brutal consequences for dissent, including Lucy MacLean's crucifixion. A civil war fractures the Legion, which the Ghoul exploits to foment chaos, positioning Culkin's character at the center of escalating conflict.
