Donal Logue was born in Canada to Irish parents; the Logues emigrated to Boston, but Donal has never become a US Citizen (he continues to hold Irish and Canadian passports). When he was eight, he moved to Nogalez, Arizona and stayed in Mexican border towns for ten years during which time he was a "desert rat with east coast sensibilities".

While a student at Harvard, he started acting on a dare from his roommate, Clay Tarver. After graduation, his first film/TV role was given to him by Mike Newell in the CBS drama COMMON GROUND in 1989. His first feature role was in Phil Alden Robinson's SNEAKERS. Since then, Logue has appeared in forty features and scores of television episodes. He gained questionable notoriety as Cabdriver Jimmy McBride on MTV in the mid-1990's. Most recently, Logue was seen as the spurned suitor turned priest in RUNAWAY BRIDE and as the mad vampire Quinn in BLADE. Y2K brings the release of eight new Logue films: TAKEDOWN, DECEPTION, THE PATRIOT, THE TAO OF STEVE, THE OPPORTUNISTS, STEAL THIS MOVIE, THE BIG TEASE and THE MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL.
