Logan Cooper

He is easy-going and supportive of everyone, especially his wife, Emily. He drinks kale. He laughs at everyone's jokes, even when he's the only one laughing.

**First appearance:** *Life With a Voice Actor* #0.02 "The Coopers"

**Number of appearances:** 5 (as of February 2021)

**Actor:** Dan Condo

## **Marriage**

Logan met and became engaged to Emily Cooper prior to guest starring on her show. It is unknown how or when they met, but they were already engaged and planning their wedding by the time his episode was completed. Emily's income was intended to pay for their wedding, but Logan got work when Emily lost her job and was able to pay for a huge wedding and a great honeymoon, as well as anything else they want. Logan had been briefly worried about money, but soon stopped worrying.

Logan loves Emily and is very supportive. He doesn't seem to notice the tension in their relationship that his career's upswing and her downswing has caused ("The Coopers"). He naively suggests she might take one of his job offers.

When Emily gets out of the house to meet with the other actor spouses, Logan thinks that'll be good for her. Though he's a little concerned with her emotional breakdown when she has another career setback ("The Big Audition"). In group therapy with the rest of the cast, Logan says that Emily always comes through for him and everyone else. He expresses he loves her and she returns the sentiment. He tries to comfort Emily when she expresses her emotions, saying she doesn't need to feel that way, which prompts her to say he doesn't always listen. He does say she's very good at helping others ("The Bathroom Remodel").

## **Career**

Logan was working at a drive-thru when he was discovered for his voice. He was not aware that being a voice actor was a career, but he happily went along with it. Soon after guest starring on *Maisy Muskrat* as Colin Cat, Colin ate Musky and then got his own spin-off, starring Logan. This led to lots of job offers that he accepted, meaning Logan soon didn't have to audition for any further parts, and had to start turning things down. The couple had plenty of money for anything they wanted to do ("The Coopers"). The Colin series is still running as this segment begins.

When Fact Broke Studios invites Logan to audition for a big movie, he's excited, but relaxed. He is inspired by his competition, who are also his friends, Ben Callihan and Jerry La Fontaine, who he thinks are great and would be happy for them if they were cast. Logan just wants to have fun with his career. Emily wishes him luck, and Logan doesn't notice she wants him to fail this one, which he does. Emily is cast instead after Logan charms the producers into listening to her reel, and Logan is very happy for her, telling her when he and Ben and Jerry meet up with their spouses afterwards. But then the studio calls Logan and tells him Emily's movie is cancelled, and Logan, Ben, and Jerry will star in a show, which pleases Logan ("The Big Audition").

Logan loves working with Ben and Jerry and praises their work. He can't believe that Terry La Fontaine tried to sabotage Jerry, but tries to see the good in everyone, and assumes that Terry's heart was in the right place, he just needs to let go a little more. Logan enjoys being in the show-within-a-show and considers his castmates his friends ("The Bathroom Remodel").

Logan is disappointed when Jerry misses work one day, but likes Fred Stanley, the sub, and doesn't express a real opinion as to whether the role should be recast ("Loyalty").

## **Trivia**

* This role was originally developed for Seamus Talty, who played Logan in the original commercial and special short, which served as the second episode of the series. Seamus was absent the month the full segment premiered, and Dan subbed in. Seamus left the troupe before episode three, and Dan took over the role full-time.
