Happy Birthday: Donal Logue

Donal Logue

Born: February 27, 1966 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

(2000, on quitting drinking in 1991) I moved to L.A. and was just a fuck up. [Leeching] off friends. Getting drunk every day. Pushing too hard. My parents were like, ‘What is wrong with you?’ And then one day I was at a bar and I remember thinking, If I don’t get away, I will die here.

[on being part of the cast of ‘Gotham’] Every scene I’m in, I’m with Ben McKenIe. What people don’t understand is that one big part of our job as actors, besides getting to know the characters and doing your research, is to be an open, cool human being with the person you’re working with for the next month or year or however long the project is. Ben and I have an amazing relationship on screen and off. We read lines together. We make sure we’re both prepared when we go to work. He’s an incredible patient guy. He’s got a big heart. He doesn’t get flustered. He doesn’t bring a bunch of weird personal issues to the table. He’s not indulgent…We’re really lucky to have him.
