Full Donal Logue Biography
Logue was born in Ottawa, Ontario. His father was once a Catholic missionary in Africa where he met Donal's mother, Elizabeth, where they eventually got married and had four children. He has three sisters: Karina, an actress, his twin sister Deirdre (who is not in show business), and Eileen, an education consultant.
Logue lived most of his childhood and teen years in El Centro, California where he attended Central Union High School, although for his junior year, he attended St Ignatius' College Enfield, Middlesex, England. After returning to El Centro, he became ASB President, California State Speech Champion, the President of American Legion Boys' Nation and graduated with the class of 1984.
Aside from a few TV movies, Logue's first film appearance was playing Dr. Gunter Janek in the 1992 film Sneakers. Soon afterwards he appeared as a rival FBI agent to Fox Mulder in the early X-Files episode "Squeeze." Logue's character Jimmy the cab driver was a staple of MTV promos in the early 90s. With more than 40 other movies to his credit, some of his more significant appearances include the 1998 film Blade (as the vampire "Quinn"), and The Patriot with Mel Gibson, in 2000.
Logue's career advanced to the next level when he was cast as the overweight-but-nevertheless-charismatic central character in The Tao of Steve. Logue's eminently competent portrayal of the lead in that film was noticed by ER producer John Wells. Humbled somewhat by Wells' interest, Logue agreed to appear in a bit part as "Chuck Brown", an individual Susan Lewis marries one weekend in Las Vegas on a whim. Logue was thereafter scheduled to appear in three episodes at the conclusion of season 9 and returned in season 10, in three more episodes. Then, in December 2005, Logue had what turned out to be a somewhat dubious association with a pilot development deal for a new situation comedy on ABC television, originally titled I Want to Rob Mick Jagger. The pilot was picked up and debuted in the winter of 2006 under the name The Knights of Prosperity. The show disappeared from the ABC lineup in early March of 2007.
Logue also appeared as Mark Ruffalo's character's psychiatrist best friend in Just Like Heaven (2005).
Logue had appeared as "Phil Stubbs" in the original pilot for the NBC show Ed but was cast as the father on the television series Grounded for Life, and made the choice to drop out. The first two-and-a-half seasons were telecast on the Fox network, though thereafter the show moved to The WB for the remainder of its run. In 2002 and 2003, Logue appeared on the VH1 series I Love the '80s, I Love the '70s, and I Love the '80s Strikes Back.
Logue was also appeared in NBC's The Dennis, in 2005, about a former child prodigy whose parents kick him out of the house and into the real world, it was not, however, picked up.
Most recently, Logue co-stared with Nicolas Cage in the movie Ghost Rider, and the David Fincher film, "Zodiac." |
