Actor Alastair Mackenzie

 Alastair Mackenzie is a Scottish actor and writer who is probably best known for his role as Laird Archie

MacDonald in Monarch of the Glenn.  Alastair and his partner Scottish actress Susan Vidler have two children.  Alastair is the brother of Oscar nominated director, writer David Mackenzie.  They also have a sister.  The brothers founded Sigma Films of Glasgow, Scotland.

I found it interesting that Alastair was in the TV series "The Crown" and during the series there's a scene between the characters Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth discussing a tutor for Princess Diana.  They mentioned my cousin Sir Eric Anderson who actually did tutor Diana.  Sir Eric and Alastair are also cousins from the same Milroy side of our family.

Being a Star Wars fan I've recently enjoyed watching Alastair in the series "Andor" where he plays "Perrin Fertha".

Alastair and I are related through my maternal side and his paternal side of the Milroy family.  I have a double connection and he's both my 5th and 6th cousin.

Superman 2025

Relative, Louisa Krause, recently posted on Instagram that she appears in the new Superman movie (2025). 

Louisa has appeared in many movies and television shows.  I try to watch any family related movies and tv shows when I can.  I've really enjoyed some of them.

In Superman she plays Sapphire Stagg girlfriend to Metamorpho and although she only makes a brief appearance my fingers are crossed that her character will be seen in any future movies.

To date the movie has made $600 million, about three times their budget so I think the chances are high for a sequel. 

Louisa and I are related through our maternal lines and we share Pennsylvania Welsh ancestry.  We're 5th cousins.

Tony Stark's Cabin

This place may look familiar, especially if you've seen the Avengers: Endgame (2019) movie. This cabin

is located in Campbellton, Georgia and was used for the Marvel movie as Tony Starks cabin. It was also used By Mark Russell In Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (2019). This is mostly listed here for fun, but it turns out there is a family connection. A relative, a 7th cousin is the property manager for this cabin which can be booked on Airbnb for $1000 a night.

Family connection
The connection is through my paternal Gordon family, the Geddes, Mitchel and Ord family lines.
