Fact Check: What Is Duncan Lacroix’s Nationality and Where Was He Born?
The continuity of Murtagh Fitzgibbons continues in Outlander: Blood of My Blood, focusing on Jamie Fraser’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser. English newcomer Rory Alexander stepped into the role, studying Lacroix's mannerisms, postural tension, and specific dialect cadence to ensure a cohesive portrayal across the franchise timeline.
Cast interviews highlighted by the Scottish press reflect the care taken to mirror the foundation Lacroix laid. Alexander noted that stepping into a character originally defined by an English actor with extensive classical training presented a unique challenge: honoring the distinctive brogue established in Season 1 while showing the lighter, youthful energy of a man who had not yet survived the brutal realities of Culloden.
