Donal Logue, who is famous for his role as Jimmy the cab driver on MTV promos, is nothing like the greasy typical Boston cabby he portrays.

He studied at the British-American Drama Academy in London, and performed in many plays before getting his break in Sneakers (1992). From there he went on to perform in movies such as Little Women (1994), An Eye for an Eye (2002), and Disclosure (1994). Even today, Donal enjoys writing almost more than acting.
