Logan as an actor


I must say, that I've just seen this guy in 2 movies. "Percy Jackson" and "The perks of being a wallflower".

When I watched the first of these, Percy Jackson. I really disliked him, thought he was a really bad actor and that he didn't convince me at all.

BUT, then I saw him in "Perks of being..." and his acting was really super great, 'cause he really convinced me that he was this little shy guy, with no friends and so on.

This has taught me two basic things.

1) You don't judge an actor/actress after seeing them in only one movie, you should at least watch three before you can really tell. Sometimes it's the other actors, the script, the director or producer that really sucks.

2) You can really unlearn stuff, because I thought I had learned the first thing (the statement above), but it seems like I had not.

Thank you for sharing and saying that you can't just prematurely judge an actor on just one or two movies you've seen of their's. I'm so glad you didn't write Logan off and you gave him a chance to prove to you just what he's capable of as an actor. He truly is a gifted young actor and I'm glad you came to that conclusion. Thanks again for your great imput.

Interesting, we arrived at a similar conclusion, but the opposite path. I first watched Percy Jackson, and didn't think much of him, but not in a negative way. He was fine, but not necessarily somebody to take note of.

I wasn't overly impressed with him in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I don't think his performance matched the raves that he received, and he did not match Ezra Miller's ability. I was a little floored as to why this guy was supposed to become the greatest actor of his generation.

Then I re-watched Percy Jackson, and when I realized he was the same guy, I was much more impressed. Two very different characters, and he played them differently. It becomes very clear that he's trying to be a good actor, and can recognize that different characters should have different mannerisms. That makes him much more likable as an actor.

Then I watched Stuck in Love, and I really enjoyed his character this time. Yet again, a different character for him, and this time I felt he really embodied the likability aspect that his Perks character lacked for me.

It took three films, but I see his talent now.

If you watch " Meet Bill" you will find Logan to be pretty good in that film too playing a Prep School kid. The movie plot itself is not exactly a high quality plot , but Logan did his character's job really well and looks like he had a lot of fun doing it IMHO.

His looks is what makes him a popular choice. However, like most boy actors looks fad very quickly!!!

I am guessing he has another few years left before he is gone for good.

He is a decent actor through.
Already looks much older than he did in Gamer or Yuma.

reply

Oh, forgot about Gamer. But he was so young then and didn't have such a big role so I'd let that one slip.

Hem, guys, the world needs even adult actors, not only little heartthrob :-)
He will last only a few ages? LOL.
He will continue to work even in his '40s.
He's an actor, not a supermodel.

reply

Actually you were right the 1st time. His acting sucks and he is an arrogant twit in real life. I only came on here because I am sick of his stupid face crammed down my throat every other dam movie I see lately. I hope he finds a nice black hole to fall into for a good 30 years or so until he learns some humility and some acting skills. What a mook..

"I only came on here because I am sick of his stupid face crammed down my throat every other dam movie I see lately."

Wow. Logan has only been in 12 movies in the last 10 years.

"he is an arrogant twit in real life." WTF?!?!?!

"I hope he finds a nice black hole to fall into for a good 30 years or so until he learns some humility and some acting skills. What a mook.."

Do you even know what humility means? What movie have you been in?
You must be overwhelmed by Logan due to bad Karma. Sucks to be you!!!
