Logan was born in Auckland, New Zealand on 6 June 1987.[1] He broke into acting when his amateur rugby union team was scouted for a TV commercial, where he was chosen to play the role of a small child who gets knocked into the mud by Auckland rugby star Michael Jones. Picked up by a casting agent, he began to do more commercials and TV appearances, including a recurring role in episodes of the New Zealand-based medical series "Shortland Street" and a guest appearance in the international series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys."
Logan is best known for his role as the young Boba Fett in "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and multiple episodes of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." [2] George Lucas has also expressed interest in him continuing the role on the upcoming Star Wars live-action TV series.

Logan is currently living in Los Angeles.
