Daniel Logan, a young actor from New Zealand, embarked on his acting journey at the tender age of 10. His entry into the industry came about when Auckland children's rugby teams were being scouted to find a boy for a television commercial. Among hundreds of other young rugby players, Daniel stood out and landed his first acting role, playing a young boy who gets knocked into the mud by Auckland rugby star Michael Jones.
This breakthrough led to a string of commercials and television appearances, including a recurring role in episodes of the popular New Zealand medical series "Shortland Street" and a guest appearance in the international hit "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys." Daniel's talent did not go unnoticed, and he soon found himself starring in the short film "Falling Sparrows" and providing lead and supporting voices for two animated series, "Tamota" and "Takapu." He also had a part in "The Legend of Johnny Lingo."
However, it was his role as Boba Fett in "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" that cemented his place in the industry. Playing the iconic character required more than just a love of action, as Daniel had to endure seemingly endless special effects takes, often standing next to blue and green screen backdrops. At one point, a series of 82 different shots of Daniel were done for a special effects sequence that would only last a few seconds on-screen. Despite the challenges, Daniel knows that all the hard work was worth it, and he is extremely proud and honored to be a part of the Star Wars legacy.
