Biography of Logan Marshall-Green

Logan Marshall-Green is an American theater and film actor known for his roles in the series "24," "The O.C.," "Quarry," "Traveler," and "Dark Blue," as well as in the films "Prometheus" (2012), "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), "Upgrade" (2018), and "Intrusion" (2021). He mainly stars in science fiction films and thrillers.

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 the Brown University theater studio. She instilled in him a simple yet important truth for his profession: "An actor's role is to observe, not to be observed." His father also worked as a drama teacher. Naturally, Logan started performing on stage from a young age.

During his school years, Logan didn't consider an acting career and was interested in baseball. After finishing school, Marshall-Green enrolled at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, majoring in literature. As a student, he worked for the student newspaper The Daily Beacon, writing reviews on the university's and city's music and theater scenes.

Besides literature, Logan was always interested in the stage and film, likely influenced by his parents' genes. He was also greatly impressed by the play "Fishbone" featuring Angela Moore. Wanting to try his hand in this field, he first enrolled in the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Connecticut, and later earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Tisch School of the Arts at the renowned New York University.

Acting Career

Logan Marshall-Green got his first movie role relatively late by acting standards, at 27: like many rising Hollywood stars, he appeared in an episode of "Law & Order."

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

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

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

In 2007, Marshall-Green played 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 the musical film "Across the Universe" directed by Julie Taymor, featuring 34 songs by The Beatles 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 after the release of the series "Dark Blue" in 2009, 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. Soon, he starred in the horror film "Devil," based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan.

In 2012, Logan had 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 film, Logan played archaeologist Charlie Holloway, who, along with colleague Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and android David (Michael Fassbender), ventures into the unknown reaches of the universe to encounter humanoid beings.

The most notable film featuring Logan 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.

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.

In June 2018, the sci-fi thriller "Upgrade" by Australian director Leigh Whannell premiered in the US. Logan played the lead character, who initially mistrusts technological progress but changes his viewpoint dramatically. Most of the cast were Australian actors.

In 2019, Logan presented his directorial and screenwriting debut, the indie drama "Adopt a Highway," starring Ethan Hawke. The story centers around a former convict trying to start anew after 20 years in prison, who finds a baby in a dumpster that soon becomes a part of his life. In an interview for the project's release, Marshall-Green hinted at more films to come: he had been writing scripts for years, and this was just the first to reach the audience.

In 2020, he appeared in the war thriller "The Defeated." He and Freida Pinto then played a couple facing a home invasion by strangers with malicious intentions in thriller '"Intrusion".

An interesting experience for the actor was filming David Duchovny's "Reverse the Curse," based on the "X-Files" star's novel. Logan played Ted, a failed writer forced to return to his hometown due to his father's illness. He tries to support his father in every way possible, even faking the results of his favorite Red Sox games.

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

At the beginning of his career, Logan dated Anna Paquin, Kelly Garner, and Marisa Tomei. He was even engaged to Marisa, but they broke up 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.

One can't help but notice the resemblance between Logan and actor Tom Hardy. Considering Logan has a twin brother, Hardy seems to have two "doppelgangers."
