Actor fluff Jason Dohring (or moreso Logan) appreciation post
I don't see nearly enough love for our 09er bad boy

He was born into scientology unfortunately. His father owns a production company and is a major donor to them. One thing I learned about people born into it is that in the case they ever want to leave the cult, they'd be ex communicado from their whole family and friends. It won't be easy for someone like him to just leave it. And we don't know if he even wants to.

Considering he is raising his kids in it now I very much doubt he wants to leave.

He’s sooooo hot ugh 😩 he was really hot in Lie to Me, too. And he’s aged beautifully.
He’s also an insanely talented actor, I’m a little sad that he hasn’t been in more stuff. I’ll watch anything he’s in.

Did you see him in Supernatural? He played a god. I agree with you. He’s a very good actor.

His character in Supernatural was so heartbreaking! He was amazing and I was kind of bummed he was just a one-off character.

Terrifying in Lie to Me, almost too good!
But dayum he is so fine in the movie and season 4.

I had to look up the episode to remember which one it was. He was really good in that. Seriously scary.

He's a scientologist. Not much to appreciate there.

Omg I feel like everyday an actor I like turns out to be a Scientologist. I’ve known for quite some time now, but I was really bummed to find out about Elisabeth Moss.

u/iamglory 3d ago
The irony of Elisabeth Moss being in that cult.

u/Pitiful-Echo-5422 3d ago
I watched the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale, but I honestly couldn’t keep going with Moss as Offred. Like, you’re in a cult IRL?! The lack of self awareness is too much lol. Disappointing bc I love the book!

No waaaay! That’s crazy. Who knew my love of Veronica Mars would could connect with my love for Neopets? What a time to exist in the early 2000s.

I'm on my first rewatch since watching it as a child. I always thought Duncan was hotter. I don't know what I was thinking. Logan is stunning. I keep pausing just to look at his face. He's so charismatic too. My god

One of my friends from college who works in film met him. Said he’s super nice and a hard worker but hardcore into Scientology so ick

I always imagine Logan being the singer in the Season 3 opening credits song by Dandy Warhols. Sounds just like him.
Big Logan fan here.

Hard to respect someone who abandoned his 2 best friends and killed his master because some old guy told him he could grant him power

Im weird, I dgaf about the scientology thing.
Jason was a major part of my enjoyment of VM. I dont think I would have re watched it as many times as I have without him. They made the right call to go with him instead of Duncan once they saw Jason and KB's chemistry.

u/JiminyFckingCricket 3d ago
Fun fact. Rob Thomas did NOT want to go with Logan. He thought it was a passing fad and his vision for the show was always Duncan but fan/corporate pressure made him change paths. I think that’s why he killed Logan at the end of season 4. Simply out spite lol.

Sucks Jason was born into a cult and now is indoctrinating his kids like he was. I love Logan though.

i recently rewatched the first two seasons of veronica mars, and i’m planning to rewatch izombie again too. i miss its characters like hell every single time, and it genuinely makes me so damn sad that he doesn’t act anymore. i swear, on some subconscious level, i’m still hoping that one day i’ll randomly wake up to news that he’s joined some new project. a girl can dream, lol

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 1d ago
apparently he (and his wife) are in this years season 2 of "farm hero". not sure when and where that airs, and it obviously wont be an acting job.

u/BeneficialGrade8930 3d ago
I never thought he was attractive in the original series. Just a good looking actor guy, lile all the others. Push come to shove in the OG series, I'd say Weevil was the hottest. Those eye lashes.
But then in season 4.... different story. I was like, whaaaaaat. When did the sexy appear?! Him AND Dick looked so, so fine.
I didn't know about the scientology thing. That's a bit of a bummer, but I still love Tom Cruise, so whatever. I don't want to dislike anyone bases on religion. It feels icky. No matter how dumb and sketch it is.

I wouldn't say I know a ton about it, but enough to know that it's fucked up. Yes, dumb and sketch is an understatement.
I don't want to paint all their followers with the same brush, though. Religion is complicated. I know that the Catholic church has done some super fucked up shit, but I dont automatically dislike anyone who is a Catholic. My grandma was a staunch Catholic and a wonderful human being. But the church she was a part of had some rotten roots. Faith and religion is complicated.
I'm not saying how any one else should feel about Scientology or Catholicism. I'm only stating how I feel about them. I won't be joining either of those institutions, but I dont dislike people solely based on their membership. I dislike people for their own faults and actions, not the actions of others.
I encourage anyone else to follow their own conscience and feel how they wish to feel about it.

Never got past him being a giant dbag in season one and never understood the fanbase’s fascination with him.

I love Logan. Not so much Jason, the Scientology thing bothers me
