Robert F. Logan, Jr. was born to a family of seven children, with his father, Francis Logan, being a bank executive and his mother, Catherine Quigley, a devoted homemaker. The family relocated to Los Angeles when Logan was still a young boy, and he spent his formative years in the city.
Logan's athletic build and boyish good looks made him a popular figure in high school, where he excelled in sports. His exceptional skills earned him a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona, but his academic pursuits were cut short when he was discovered by a Warner Bros. talent agent. This chance encounter marked the beginning of Logan's journey in the world of entertainment.
Logan's early career in Hollywood was marked by appearances in various TV shows, including "Maverick" and "Surfside 6." He also replaced Edd Byrnes as the parking attendant J.R. Hale in the popular TV series "77 Sunset Strip." His early success led to guest spots on "Dr. Kildare" and "Mr. Novak," as well as a co-starring role in the beach party movie "Business People" alongside his TV friend Edd Byrnes.
Logan's career experienced a slight downturn after his stint as frontiersman Jericho Jones on the TV series "Daniel Boone." However, he bounced back in the early 1970s with the starring role in the popular family drama "The Adventures of the Wilderness Family." Written and directed by Stewart Raffill, the film was a commercial success, and Logan went on to star in two more adventure films with a similar theme, "Across the Great Divide" and "The Sea Gypsies." He also appeared in two sequels to "The Wilderness Family" and co-wrote and starred in the family adventure film "Kelly."
Logan continued to work in the film industry, making sporadic appearances in movies such as the western comedy "Catlow" and the steamy drama "A Night in Heaven." He also co-starred in the action film "Scorpion" and the backwoods thriller "Man Outside." After a nearly decade-long hiatus, Logan returned to the screen with a brief appearance in the Cold War comedy film "Redboy 13" before disappearing from the public eye once again.
Throughout his career, Logan has been married once and has one daughter from that union. Despite his tumultuous journey in the entertainment industry, Logan remains a beloved figure, remembered for his charming on-screen presence and his dedication to his craft.
