Ep186 - Logan Mashall-Green, Writer-Director Ethan Hawke Film ‘Adopt a Highway’

Logan Mashall-Green was born in the arts, with two parents who taught theater. As an actor, Logan landed jobs in ‘Upgrade’ ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming,’ and ‘Prometheus,’ plus he just stepped into his debut role as writer-director for ‘Adopt a Highway.’ The simplistic description of the new film is, “An ex-felon discovers a live baby left in a dumpster,” but the film is really an experiment. Working with Ethan Hawke, the writer-director wanted to capture something on film that was honest and real. In this interview, Logan discusses his childhood as a theater brat, the moment he truly felt like an actor, what he learned working with Ethan Hawke, how to avoid crutches as an actor, and why most creatives play it too safe with their work.
