Born September 6th, 1982 in Saint Lucie County, Florida. Logan Thoreau was encouraged into acting by his elementary school music teacher at age of 8. He often appeared in school plays, talent shows, and also served as the student program director for the school's morning news broadcast, 'Good Morning Garden City'.
As a teenager, Thoreau became involved with a number of community service based organizations. In the Fort Pierce Police Department's 'Explorer' program, he learned the novice aspects of criminal justice & police tactics and assisted in the training of the police K-9 unit. Then with the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (J.R.O.T.C.) at Fort Pierce Central High School, Logan became a leader in the organization's Armed Drill Team and Ironman competitions. Later, after relocating to Port Saint Lucie High School, Logan became a member of the Future Business Leaders of America (F.B.L.A.), earning him a regional award for public speaking. Thoreau's humanitarianism gained local media attention after being recognized by the Fort Pierce, Florida city mayor's office and invited to speak before city hall.
After graduating high school in 2001, Thoreau joined the United States Air Force; instantly becoming a model airman in the Air Mobility Command Regional Supply Sqaudron (AMCRSS). As a vital member of his squadron's executive briefing team, Logan's accolades include a National Defense Service Medal and a Organizational Excellence Award for 'Operation Enduring Freedom'. Following an honorable discharge in late 2003, Logan returned home to Florida to spend time with his family.
In 2006 Thoreau relocated to Boston, Massachusetts. It was there that a life changing hardship reunited Logan with his childhood love of acting. He then began studying at The Huntington Theater Company of Boston, and later with The Atlantic Acting School in Manhattan.
Thoreau also showed early potential as a writer when asked to pen a feature length script for Marble Mountain Productions. The film, 'Losing My Way' (an indie drama set for production in Spring 2008), was unfortunately halted during pre-production. He has since appeared in a number of student and indie productions including 2009's 'Carlotta' from writer/director Ernesto Galan.
In 2010 Logan moved to Manhattan and almost immediately joined The 13th St. Repertory Theatre Company. Soon after, he was on stage as Stephen in the Israel Horovitz play 'Line', the longest running production in Off-Off Broadway history.
Today, Logan continues to work as a film, stage, and television actor; successively refining his craft through various productions and education.
