He was the base camp generator operator on Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist before working as the best boy rigging on The Plot Against America and Dickinson. As things currently stand, Ratray has cast a dark shadow over the Home Alone franchise this holiday season, with news arriving that he has been involved in a particularly troubling incident involving his girlfriend. The holidays are upon us, and for many, that means stressful gift shopping, filling the home with decorations evoking seasonal cheer, and watching some classic Christmas movies. Though he didn't exactly steal the show like his older brother, the younger Culkin played Fuller, one of the cousins in the McCallisters' extended family. Today, he stars in the HBO series Succession, which earned him another Golden Globe nomination. In conjunction with the launch of Succession's third season in the fall of 2021, Culkin hosted Saturday Night Live, where he talked about likewise appearing on that program years and years ago alongside his famous older brother.
He's also in the 2021 Disney+ remake of the film, called Home Sweet Home Alon, which follows a married couple who try to steal back a valuable heirloom from a troublesome kid. He reprises the role of Buzz McAllister, now a police officer, and it's available to stream now. “I think if he had known it would become the highest-grossing family comedy of all time, he might have had second thoughts about it." " decided it would be unkind to put a girl in that role of just being funny-looking,” Devin Ratray told Yahoo. The intended comedy comes from the fact that the girl in the frame is made to look especially goofy - but it’s not as mean-spirited as you might think. Buzz's girlfriend is a girl mentioned in the first Home Alone film.
The Cast of 'Home Alone' : Where Are They Now?
Culkin found love again in 2017 with a fellow child star, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody's Brenda Song, whom he has talked about starting a family with. In 2021, Culkin starred on season 10 of American Horror Story. Home Alone is one of the most memorable movies from the 90s, and it is now widely considered a Christmas classic.
For most Home Alone fans, it’s Kevin who remains the most memorable. His cute and potentially lethal desire to protect his family home at all costs after being left to his own devices over the Christmas holidays resulted in a blockbuster hit for filmmaker Chris Columbus. For what it’s worth, however, Buzz does have some great scenes as well, and this continues in the second film in which Kevin boards the wrong plane and is taken to New York City without his family. As far as annoying older brothers go in the history of cinema, Buzz is undoubtedly ranked somewhere near the top, but few would have expected that the bullying he does in the film would actually rear its head in his real-life behavior. After portraying the McCallister family matriarch, O'Hara continued to act in various films and on several TV series, including Glenn Martin DDS and Skylanders Academy.
Devin Ratray as Buzz McCallister
It is also interesting to wonder how the scene would have played out if Buzz’s girlfriend had been a total babe. There is something strange about Buzz’s girlfriend’s cameo in Home Alone. The film has become a Christmas classic since it was made in 1990 but began as an underfunded pipe-dream for director director Christopher Columbus who had to call in many favors to get the film made. Few thought Home Alone would become the highest-grossing live-action comedy for two decades , and now Buzz’s girlfriend has been memorialized as the girl Kevin thinks looks like a dog. "Home Alone" star Devin Ratray -- who played Buzz McCallister in the flick -- had a spat with his girlfriend that got so bad ...
But perhaps most exciting to Home Alone fans, he's brought back the character of Buzz for a small role in Home Sweet Home Alone. Apparently, the no-good Buzz grew up to be a cop (!), as you can see in the Home Sweet Home Alone trailer. He's also guested on the Hulu show Dollface, which his fianceBrenda Song stars in. Speaking of his girlfriend, they seem to be extremely happy together. While on The Joe Rogan Experience podcasta few years ago, the former child star opened up about his serious relationship with Song and how he hoped to have children with her in the near future. “I have a pretty little family—a pretty girl, a pretty dog, a pretty cat and all that stuff.

Over the years, there are lots of viewers who wondered about the identity of Buzz’s girlfriend. Little do they know, the story behind the picture is equally as unforgettable at the scene in the movie. Keep reading to find out the truth about Buzz’s girlfriend from Home Alone. It still forces the scene to take several steps back into cringe-worthy, insensitive territory.
Devin was charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation. Numerous fan theories have also come into existence about the film, most recently one that suggested Old Man Marley died before his final scene. Cops tell us things were sorted out once Devin and his gf decided to go their separate ways for the night -- she got a separate room -- and no one was arrested. Also, just because Die Hard is set at Christmas doesn't make it a Christmas movie.
Trailer: Christmas comedy classic Home Alone
Devin Ratray, who played Buzz - and has a name so American that you'd have to invent it if it didn't exist - recently told Yahoo that the photo wasn't a girl at all. She married fellow actor Russell Soder in 2005 and the couple has one child together. Played by Mike C. Maronna, the 45-year-old now works behind the cameras - as a lighting technician on films.
Now 45, she is a married full-time mum to two sons and a published author of The Not So Zen Mom. After stepping out of the spotlight, he made a return to show business starring in Seth Green's directorial debut Changeland - which was released in 2019. At the height of his fame, the now 42-year-old was labelled the most successful child actor since Shirley Temple, but his younger years were troubled. The market rally started strong, but sold off hard in a big outside week. If she does it'll end up a murder-suicide after he blames her for the downward spiral of his life, caused by his own poor choices.
The actor recently revealed to People that there was a possible "Home Alone" reunion in the works ... Law enforcement sources tell us they were called to a Hyatt near downtown OKC earlier this week for a domestic dispute between Ratray and his girlfriend. Now let's turn our attention to one of the most famous scenes in the original Home Alone movie, where Kevin picks up a photo of Buzz's girlfriend and has a jolly good laugh at how ugly she is. Hmm, seems the younger McAllister's being a bit of a dick now, taking the piss out of some poor kid's appearance. He achieved more critical acclaim for the role of Roman Roy in Succession - a HBO black comedy based on the inner workings of a family of media moguls.
The dispute between him and his girlfriend reportedly occurred in their hotel room before Ratray was arrested and booked on two domestic assault and battery complaints. It’s not the first time a Home Alone alum has been arrested, however. Strangely enough, Culkin was also arrested in Oklahoma City, in 2004 for possession of marijuana, Xanax and Klonopin.
" decided it would be unkind to put a girl in that role of just being funny-looking," Devin explained. He was a remorseless bully of little Kevin McAllister, nicking his pizza, calling him a 'phlegm wad' and blaming all of his misdeeds on his defenceless sibling. And that's before you factor in that shocker of an 80s brush cut that he called hair.
The film also stars the late John Heard as Kevin’s dad, Peter McCallister and features a cameo by the late John Candy as the Polka King of the Midwest, Gus Polinski. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern play the other leading roles as the two robbers, Harry and Marv, respectively, who try — and epically fail — to steal from the McCallister home under Kevin’s watch. Throughout his four-decade Hollywood career, Heard became a well-respected actor and accumulated over 200 credits on the big and small screen. O'Hara was already a familiar face in Hollywood thanks to several supporting roles throughout the 1980s — most notably 1988's Beetlejuice.
He has since starred in the Father of the Bride franchise, She’s All That, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Quitters and Infinity Baby. Kieran appeared on Go Fish and a few episodes of Long Live the Royals before playing Roman Roy on Succession, which earned him both an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination in 2020. Stern starred on The Wonder Years and appeared in City Slickers in between Home Alone and Home Alone 2.
Stern is a sculptor who has created pieces for public art projects all over Southern California. Life for the actor who played Buzz in Home Alone back in 1990 hasn’t been going too smoothly in recent years. In late December 2021, he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend in Oklahoma.
