Ricky Dean Logan

Over the course of a career spanning three decades that continues to this day, RICKY DEAN LOGAN has proven himself to be a versatile and ever-evolving talent, both in front of and behind the camera.

With only one TV movie under his belt, Logan made his feature film debut in one of the 1989 blockbusters, Back to the Future: Part II, playing the role of “Data,” a member of Griff's gang chasing Marty McFly in a futuristic Hill Valley.

The actor's performance so impressed director Bob Zemeckis and co-creator/producer Bob Gale, they brought back Logan in an entirely different role for Back to the Future Part III. Soon after, Ricky appeared in another classic film series, with the role of Carlos in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.

Since then, the actor has appeared in many film and television projects, with roles in popular series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Seinfeld, Tales From the Crypt, Baywatch, Pacific Blue, ER, Las Vegas, Days of Our Lives, My Name is Earl, Southland and The Mentalist, among others. He has lent his voice to numerous video games and the animated series Spawn. In 2012, Logan reunited with his Back to the Future II partner Darlene Vogel to star in, produce, co-write and compose the original score for the short film "It Could Change Everything".

As 2015 approached, Logan began working on a special project for the multitudes of Back to the Future fans. With the blessing of BTTF's Bob Gale, Ricky went “back” and produced the Back to the Future 2015 short film, which features Marty McFly arriving in the real 2015 version, as opposed to the more fantastic fictional version of Hill Valley. As a producer, Logan was able to secure many of the film's original film locations, including the classic Hill Valley Courthouse in Universal Pictures' backyard. In the short he makes an appearance as his cinematic alter ego, Data, and has enlisted the talents of original cast members Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker), Donald Fullilove (Mayor Goldie Wilson), and Darlene Vogel (Spike).

Back to the Future 2015 premiered October 21, 2015 at Universal's Citywalk to enthusiastic fans and was featured more than once at the "We're Going Back" convention, a week-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future. The short film was enthusiastically received by the thousands of people present at the event. It has since been viewed by over 6 Million on YouTube and numerous other websites.

Ricky has lots of great projects in the Future, including starring as Carlos Cochran in @iceninekills music videos. He is currently producing and staring as Tommy in Crust a feature film alongside Sean Whalen, Alan Ruck and Daniel Roebuck. Rebekah Kennedy will also star.
