Logan Fry was born William Logan Fry in Columbus, Ohio in September, 1944. The son of a Federal Administrative Law Judge and an elementary school teacher, he graduated from Oberlin College in 1967 and Case Western University Law School in 1970, concurrently serving in Artillery, then Judge Advocate General, units of the United States Army Reserve. In addition to reserve duty, Logan earned his tuition by working on the family Christmas tree farm near Akron, Ohio, as a janitorial assistant in a rubber company research lab, a shipping and receiving clerk in a light fixture factory, a rake and shovel man for a landscaping company, a food runner in the college dining hall and a night bellman at the local Holiday Inn.
Acting was far from his first career choice. After graduation from law school, Logan served as a law intern in the Law Department of the City of Cleveland, then attorney in Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Goodyear Atomic Corporation (which operated the Piketon uranium enrichment plant) and private practice. He retired in 1987 to become a world-class weaver with work in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Cleveland Art Museum and the deYoung Museum in San Francisco, among others. Logan has traveled the world, from active war zones in the Middle East to the brothels of Amsterdam and San Francisco.
Acting was a fluke, an opportunity that presented itself when Spider-Man 3 (2007) came to Cleveland, Ohio. Logan was cast as a precision driver for scenes with Sandman attempting his escape from Spider-Man in an armored truck. Although he had no formal training, he was hooked. Since then, he has done background work in major studio films projects like I Am Legend (2007), Taking Chance (2009), Real Steel (2011), Oz The Great and Powerful (2013) and Gotham (2014); as well as event participant, soldier, zombie or undead in regional independent film. Background in major film productions built knowledge - the opportunity to see the greatest directors and actors at work; while featured work in indies like Death of the Dead (2011), 25 Hill (2011) and Revenge of the Spacemen (2014) provided experience in speaking roles.
More recently, Logan has undertaken the production and direction of his own movies, with short and micro-short films like Gimme Head: the Tale of the Cuyahoga Valley Bigfoot (2016) and Ro-Boob: The Farting Robot Monster (2018), generally performing every role and task of the filmmaking process. Recognition has come swiftly, and his films have screened not only in his home state of Ohio, but also venues from NYC to LA; as well as Mexico, Panama, Uruguay, Great Brittain, Spain, Italy, Germany, Serbia, Turkey, India, South Africa and Australia - altogether fourteen countries on six continents. And Logan ferociously promotes his work, following his films with personal appearances at film festivals in the cities of Toronto, Mexico City, Montevideo, Barcelona, Kassel (Germany) and Belgrade.
He counts the outsider and trash film directors Don Dohler and Edward D. Wood Jr. as primary inspirations. You don't need to be a film school graduate with Hollywood connections to make good films; and Logan is living proof.
