Gordon’s story kicks off in Edinburgh, surrounded by a family of musicians and performers—yep, even Edvard Grieg in the bloodline. His granddad, George Milne, drummed away for the BBC Scottish Symphony and the National Scottish Orchestras, and made sure Gordon grew up soaking in that creative energy. But Gordon wasn’t just about music; he got pulled into acting when a drama teacher noticed his antics at school and pushed him onto the stage at eleven for a production of Aladdin. That spark stuck. Sports? Absolutely. By eight, he was deep into martial arts, racking up British titles in Kung Fu, and landing a spot on the GB Wushu squad. After university, Gordon headed to Beijing to train and ended up catching the eye of the Chinese film industry. Before long, he was bouncing around movie sets, working alongside icons like Jackie Chan. Fast forward to 2002, and director Christopher Renshaw brought him in to direct fight scenes for the smash hit Queen musical ‘We Will Rock You.’ Not one to sit still, Gordon dove back into acting, toured Italy with a stage production, then snagged a lead role in the film ‘The Purifiers’ with Kevin McKidd. That kicked off a run of movie roles and, with his knack for action, pushed him onto the UK Stunt Register. That opened doors to doubling for Hollywood heavyweights—yeah, even Daniel Craig as Bond. With all that action experience, he circled back to acting, landing roles in films like ‘Somewhere Only We Know,’ ‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’ with Tom Cruise, ‘Kingsman 2,’ and ‘Final Score’ with Dave Bautista. Now, he’s showing up in Syfy’s DC series ‘Krypton’ as Commander Quex Ul.
So, Gordon didn’t just pick “Alexander” out of a hat—it’s actually a nod to his dad, who died back in 2006. A pretty personal touch, honestly. You can feel how much that must’ve meant to him, considering he decided to carry his father’s name forward in his own way. There’s this underlying thing with names, right? They’re not just labels, sometimes they’re these living, breathing connections to people we’ve lost. Gordon’s choice kinda turns into a tribute that sticks with him every day, which is way more meaningful than your average stage name. It’s not just about legacy or tradition, either—it’s about memory, about keeping someone present even when they’re gone. So, that’s the story behind the name Alexander for Gordon: a sweet, low-key homage that probably means more than any fan will ever realize.
