Logan Marshall-Green (born November 1, 1976) is an American actor perhaps best known for his role as Trey Atwood on the The O.C.. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina and raised by his mother, Lowry Marshall, in Cranston, Rhode Island. He has a twin brother named Taylor. His mother wanted her name involved, hence the hyphenated combination of last names from his mother and father. As an actress, writer, director, and member of the Brown University theatre department, she also influenced his choice of career.

He attended Edward S. Rhodes School (4th grade), Edgewood Highlands school (5th-6th grade), and Barrington High School.

He did his undergraduate studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he worked in a school dining facility (even reaching supervisor) and wrote for the school newspaper, The Daily Beacon, in early 1998 as an Entertainment Writer primarily covering the bar, music, and theater scene. He went on to earn his Master's in Fine Arts from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

Marshall-Green is perhaps best known for his recurring role as Trey Atwood on FOX's The O.C. to younger brother Ryan. In the 2005 cliffhanger season finale his character was shot, but survived.

Marshall-Green has also made several guest appearances on the hit FOX show 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland. He also had a guest spot on two of NBC's hit shows; in 2003 Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and in 2004 Law & Order.

Logan's first love is the theater. He received a Drama Desk award for his performance in Neil LaBute's The Distance From Here in 2004. And in 2005 he performed a theatrical hat trick: in June he played an anthropomorphic shark in Adam Bock's Swimming in the Shallows; in August he appeared as Bo Decker in a production of William Inge's classic Bus Stop; and in December he was the tragic piano virtuoso Beethoven in the Peanuts spoof Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead.

He starred in the poorly received 2005 film Alchemy and the Miramax production The Great Raid, which was delayed from 2002 due to the Disney-Miramax split. He was originally linked to The Family Stone, a movie also known as Hating Her, set to be released November 4, 2005, but the entire original cast was replaced [1][2].

In 2007, Logan played the villainous Edmund in the Public Theater production of King Lear starring Kevin Kline as the mad monarch and directed by Sunday in the Park with George author James Lapine.
