Biography of Logan Marshall-Green

Logan Marshall-Green is an American theater and film actor best known for his roles in hit series like "24," "The O.C.," "Quarry," "Traveler," and "Dark Blue," plus major films including "Prometheus" (2012), "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), "Upgrade" (2018), and "Intrusion" (2021). He's carved out a niche primarily in sci-fi and thriller projects.

Childhood and Family

Logan Marshall-Green was born on November 1, 1976, in the small town of Charleston, South Carolina.

He spent his childhood in Rhode Island, where his mother taught at Brown University's theater studio. She passed along a simple but crucial piece of wisdom for his future profession: "An actor's role is to observe, not to be observed." His father also worked as a drama teacher. With that kind of background, Logan naturally started performing on stage from an early age.

Logan has a twin brother named Taylor, who also went into television and film. Taylor started out as an on-set accountant and has since worked his way up to producing various TV shows.

During his school years, Logan wasn't thinking about acting as a career – he was more interested in baseball. After graduating, Marshall-Green enrolled at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville to study literature. As a student, he wrote for the campus newspaper The Daily Beacon, reviewing the university's and city's music and theater scenes.

Beyond literature, Logan was always drawn to stage and film – probably thanks to his parents' influence. He was particularly impressed by the play "Fishbone" featuring Angela Moore. Ready to try his hand at acting, he enrolled at the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Connecticut, and later earned his Master of Fine Arts from NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts.

Acting Career

Logan Marshall-Green landed his first screen role relatively late by Hollywood standards – at 27 – appearing in an episode of "Law & Order," like so many rising stars before him.

Soon after, he made his breakthrough on the theatrical stage. In 2004, he snagged the prestigious Drama Desk Award for his role in Neil LaBute's play "The Distance from Here" – LaBute being the screenwriter behind the series "Van Helsing" (2016-2018).

Logan's first feature film was "Alchemy" (2005), starring Sarah Chalke and Tom Cavanagh.

That same year, he landed a role in the 4th season of "24," playing Defense Secretary Richard Heller, who gets kidnapped by terrorists and rescued by special agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). He then starred in the hit teen drama series "The O.C." alongside Peter Gallagher, Kelly Rowan, Adam Brody, Mischa Barton, and others.

In 2007, Marshall-Green landed the lead role in ABC's "Traveler," about three friends who become suspects in a terrorist attack at a New York museum. He also appeared in Julie Taymor's musical "Across the Universe," which featured 34 Beatles songs in modern arrangements. The lead roles were played by Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood, with appearances by Bono, Joe Cocker, Salma Hayek, and others.

Logan gained more attention with the 2009 series "Dark Blue," where he played Dean Bendis, an undercover cop so deeply embedded in his cover that his colleagues struggle to trust him. Around the same time, he played another cop in Antoine Fuqua's crime drama "Brooklyn's Finest" alongside Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes, and Richard Gere. He then starred in the horror film "Devil," based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan.

In 2012, Logan got the chance to work with legendary director Ridley Scott on "Prometheus," initially conceived as a prequel to the cult film "Alien" (1979). In this sci-fi thriller, Logan played archaeologist Charlie Holloway, who ventures into the unknown reaches of the universe alongside colleague Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and android David (Michael Fassbender) to encounter humanoid beings.

Logan's most notable film in the following years was the thriller "The Invitation" (2015) by Karyn Kusama, which won numerous awards at various film festivals. Logan played the lead role.

In 2016-2017, Marshall-Green appeared in a small role in the biographical film "Snowden" with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and in the crime drama series "Quarry," playing a hitman in 1970s Memphis.

Later, Logan starred in the superhero action film "Spider-Man: Homecoming" as Jackson Brice (Shocker), a member of Adrian Toomes' (Michael Keaton) criminal group. Bokeem Woodbine portrayed another version of Shocker in the same film.

From November 2017 to January 2018, Netflix released the series "Damnation," set in provincial America during the Great Depression. Logan played one of the main roles. The series received low ratings and was canceled after the first season.

The sci-fi thriller "Upgrade" from Australian director Leigh Whannell hit US theaters in June 2018. Logan starred as the lead character, who starts out distrusting tech but undergoes a dramatic change of heart. The cast was predominantly Australian.

Logan made his directorial and screenwriting debut in 2019 with the indie drama "Adopt a Highway," starring Ethan Hawke. The story follows a former convict trying to rebuild his life after 20 years behind bars, who discovers an abandoned baby that changes everything. During press for the film's release, Marshall-Green teased more projects ahead: he'd been writing scripts for years, with this being just the first to make it to audiences.

In 2020, he appeared in the war thriller "The Defeated." He and Freida Pinto then starred as a couple terrorized by home invaders in the thriller "Intrusion."

One standout project was David Duchovny's "Reverse the Curse," adapted from the "X-Files" star's own novel. Logan plays Ted, a struggling writer who returns home when his father falls ill. He'll do anything to lift his father's spirits, even fabricating Red Sox game results.

The actor admitted:

...I don't usually get offered these roles. But these are the roles I've always sought, ones that demand so much when it comes to immersing in a character, and not just any character, but a character type that is incredibly emotionally repressed, yet somehow empathetic. All the themes in it just resonated with me.

Personal Life of Logan Marshall-Green

Early in his career, Logan dated Anna Paquin, Kelly Garner, and Marisa Tomei. He was actually engaged to Marisa, but they split in 2012 after four years together.

In December 2012, Logan married actress Diane Gaeta (born in 1980). They welcomed a son, Tennessee, in April 2014.

Logan also raised Diane's daughter from her first marriage, Culla Mae, who was born in 2010 to actor Johnny Lewis. Her parents separated before she turned one, and in 2012, Lewis died under tragic circumstances. He allegedly killed his 81-year-old landlady and suffered fatal injuries while trying to escape via the roof.

In 2019, the couple filed for divorce. After their separation, Diane initially claimed that Logan had an affair with actress Sarah Hay. Later, she accused him of "marital rape," stating that he continued to have sexual contact despite her refusal. As a result, she became pregnant but had to have an abortion because Logan didn't want another child.

It's impossible to miss the resemblance between Logan and actor Tom Hardy. Since Logan has a twin brother, Hardy basically has two doppelgangers.
