From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Logan Craig O'Brien (born January 21, 1992 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor with a growing list of credits to his name, best known for his role as "Lucas Jones" on "General Hospital". He has been involved in many theatrical productions, earning awards and nominations for his performances, and was seen in the ABC primetime pilot sitcom "That Was Then." O'Brien has recently completed filming his part in the new Universal Studios feature film Serenity, directed by Joss Whedon, premiering worldwide September 30, 2005.
O'Brien started his career at the age of six, after being cast in his first feature film role in the independent film "Special Delivery" starring Sean Young, Penny Marshall, and Nell Carter. He followed that up with co-starring roles in Disney's "Smart House," and Hallmark's "A Season For Miracles" with Laura Dern and Lynne Redgrave. He also appeared in a duet entitled "Younger Generation" with singer and good friend Joey Pearson on his album, Something To Say in 2002.
O'Brien currently resides in the Los Angeles area with his parents. After studying Hebrew for six years, O'Brien, who is Jewish, had his Bar Mitzvah in January, 2005.[3] He Finished 7th, 8th and 9th grades in 2 school years and will graduate High School at age sixteen, having skipped the 1st and 4th grades.
O'Brien is Jewish (of Russian and Austrian ancestry) on his mother's side, and also has Irish, Filipino, Portuguese, Spanish, Armenian, and Japanese ancestry.[1][2]
Took the PSATs; missed out on being a National Merit Scholar. He claims that it wasn't by much and that he needed to get into the 90th percentile. However, one actually needs to get into the 99th percentile to be a semifinalist, and the 96th percentile to be a Commended Scholar. Seems to have a complex when it comes to showing how smart he is.

My grandparents on my mom's side were Jews who came from Austria and Russia. When we go to NYC, we are going to look up their name, Bogen, at Ellis Island. All of this family stuff came about from having my Bar Mitzvah and their wanting me to know about roots."
