As director Chris Columbus explains, the jobs of Kevin's parents were intentionally vague in the film, but he highlighted that Kevin's mom was a successful fashion designer, while his father's career was likely in advertising. Columbus clarified that Peter's means of support was legitimate and didn't involve organized crime, despite that being prevalent in Chicago during that era.
In discussing the casting process for Kevin, Columbus detailed how John Hughes, known for his keen eye for talent, urged him to meet Macaulay Culkin. Columbus mentioned meeting 300 other kids, ultimately leading back to Culkin, whose audition was magical and secured him the iconic role.
