Logan Lerman, born January 19, 1992, in Beverly Hills, California, is an American actor celebrated for his versatile performances across film and television.
Raised in a Jewish household, Lerman’s early passion for movies sparked a career that began with commercials at age four and evolved into starring roles in major productions.
His breakout role as Percy Jackson in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) cemented his status as a leading young actor, showcasing his ability to bring depth to complex characters.
With a family rooted in the medical and prosthetics industry, Lerman stands out as the “black sheep” for pursuing acting.
Siblings
Logan is the youngest of three siblings, with an older sister, Lindsey Lerman Neyman, and an older brother, Lucas Lerman.
Lindsey, married to David Neyman, is known for her entrepreneurial ventures, notably as the owner of Stella and Bow, a California-based jewelry company.
Lucas, less public but equally integral to the family dynamic, shares a strong connection with Logan, characterized by brotherly camaraderie and mutual support.
The Lerman family also includes a step-sister, Laura Silver, from their father Larry’s previous marriage to Marilyn Silver, blending the family further.
Raised in Beverly Hills, the siblings grew up in a tight-knit environment, influenced by their family’s operation of Lerman & Son, an orthotics and prosthetics company founded by their great-grandfather, Jacob Lerman, in 1915.
