Jason Dohring

Possessing boy-next-door appeal combined with a roguish charm, actor Jason Dohring was a consistent fan favorite on a number of television endeavors. After early bit parts in made-for-TV movies like the family drama "Journey" (CBS, 1995) and the big budget feature film "Deep Impact" (1998), the young actor increased his visibility with costarring roles in such projects as "Ready to Run" (Disney Channel, 2000). A memorable recurring turn on "Boston Public" (Fox, 2000-04) led to Dohring being cast as the scheming, but charming rich kid Logan Echolls on "Veronica Mars" (UPN, 2004-06/The CW, 2006-07 ). Originally planned as a single episode character, Dohring's range took him from being just the titular character's nemesis to her on-going love interest on a show that critics felt ended long before its time. More regular cast roles came on the vampire romance "Moonlight" (CBS, 2007-08) and the convoluted mystery "Ringer" (The CW, 2011-12), although neither program attracted the critical acclaim or fan loyalty enjoyed by "Veronica Mars," especially when a Kickstarter Internet fundraising campaign made a long-hoped for feature version a reality. Talented and endearing, Dohring was guaranteed a lengthy and versatile career.
