Donal Logue stars as the brash New Yorker Captain Kevin Tidwell as he joins the cast of NBC's returning drama series "Life."

Logue's versatility and talent makes him one of the most respected actors today. Born in Ottawa, Canada, Logue moved all over the United States, from the Boston area as an infant to various towns on the Mexican border. He returned to Boston to attend Harvard University, where he majored in intellectual history and eventually discovered his love for the performing arts. While in college, he appeared in over 30 plays, worked for two summers in the American Repertory Theatre's Harvard/Radcliffe Summer Stock Company, and spent a short time doing theatre in England.

After graduating, Logue joined the Cornerstone Theatre Company that developed community theatre in rural parts of the United States. From then on, Logue dedicated himself to pursuing his passion for acting.

In 2000, Logue starred in "The Tao of Steve," the story of a larger-than-life, philosophizing Lothario, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, and won him a Special Jury Prize for Outstanding Performance. His other film credits include "Sneakers," "Gettysburg," "Little Women," "Jerry Maguire," "Blade," "Runaway Bride," "Reindeer Games," "The Million Dollar Hotel," "The Patriot," "Comic Book Villians," "Confidence," "Just Like Heaven" and "The Groomsmen."

Logue could last be seen in "Zodiac," the feature film directed by David Fincher, based on the Robert Graysmith books about the notorious Zodiac serial killer, as well as Mark Steven Johnson's "Ghost Rider" with Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes, "The EX," with Zach Braff and Amanda Peet, and "Purple Violets," with Selma Blair (NBC's "Kath & Kim"), Debra Messing, Patrick Wilson and Ed Burns (who also directed). He will appear in "Max Payne" with Mark Wahlberg and "The Lodger" with Alfred Molina and Hope Davis.

In addition, Logue recently made his directorial debut with the independent film "Tennis Anyone?," which appeared at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. He wrote and starred in the film opposite Jason Isaacs and Paul Rudd. He's next set to direct the Irish/Canadian production "Paddyville."

Logue's previous notable television credits include "The Knights of Prosperity," "Grounded for Life" and NBC's "ER."

Logue lives in Los Angeles and has two children.
