Home Alone star Devin Ratray’s domestic violence trial has been delayed after he was hospitalised in “critical condition”.
The 47-year-old actor, who played Buzz McCallister in the blockbuster movies, has since been released from hospital and is reportedly back home resting on doctor’s orders. It is yet to be revealed what landed him in hospital.
TMZ report that Ratray’s medical emergency has delayed his court case until next month as jury selection was set to begin in Oklahoma on Monday. He was arrested in December 2021 following accusations he beat up his ex-girlfriend during a drunk altercation.

He had his first court appearance in February 2022, entering a not-guilty plea. Child star Devin rose to fame in the early 1990s when he played Buzz, the older brother to Hollywood star Macaulay Culkin’s character, in the first two Home Alone films.

He also previously told PEOPLE that a Home Alone reunion was in the pipeline with some members of the original cast included in the reboot. He also revealed that he had reprised his role as brother Buzz in the movie Home Sweet Home Alone on Disney+. However, it is unsure if this will still go forward due to the allegations made against him.
Devin told people at the time: “This film has become a legacy and has affected families now for more than one generation. Parents are showing children, children are showing grandchildren something that I was a part of. I’ve come to realize that this movie, it’s bigger than me.”
In late 2007, a documentary film crew followed Ratray’s attempts to win the heart of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He used ‘love disks’ — love letters set to music and images—to serenade her, and traveled from New York, to Alabama, Denver, Palo Alto and Washington, DC to court her. The resulting film, Courting Condi, was due for international release in fall 2008.
