After a false start heading a franchise intended to pick up where Harry Potter left off, Logan Lerman has gone on to prove himself a versatile supporting actor with leading man potential bubbling just under the surface.<\/p>\n
For aging millennials, it probably feels like just yesterday that Lerman was leading the film adaptations of the popular Percy Jackson & the Olympians books. The franchise kicked off with 2010\u2019s Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (helmed by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone director, Chris Columbus), but it fizzled out after just one sequel.<\/p>\n
Since then, the 34-year-old has quietly built up a resume of roles<\/a>\u2014including a recent turn as a tech bro billionaire in Only Murders in the Building\u2014proving he\u2019s much more than the original Percy Jackson. So, let\u2019s take a look at some of the best performances from his already impressive career.<\/p>\n First up is an outlier for a couple of reasons. For one, it\u2019s a throwback to Lerman\u2019s early career (we\u2019re talking pre-Percy Jackson). Secondly, he\u2019s firmly in a supporting role here. Despite this, James Mangold\u2019s 2007 remake of 3:10 to Yuma<\/a> is a personal favorite. It\u2019s the film that should have single-handedly rebooted interest in Westerns for the 21st century.<\/p>\n Though crippled rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) and ice-cold gunslinger Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) are on opposite sides of the law, they aren\u2019t as different as they first appear. As the film unfolds, we find ourselves questioning just who we\u2019re rooting for.<\/p>\n Evans is particularly compelling thanks to his relationship with his son, William, played by Lerman. William is in awe of Wade\u2019s outlaw glamour, and Lerman perfectly captures that mix of teenage rebellion and hero worship. It\u2019s a role that foreshadows the complex characters he\u2019d play later, proving he could hold his own against screen titans like Bale and Crowe even pre-Percy Jackson.<\/p>\n Filmed in the midst of his Percy Jackson days, 2012\u2019s The Perks of Being a Wallflower<\/a> proved Lerman had serious acting chops outside of special effects-driven tween flicks.<\/p>\n The Perks of Being a Wallflower follows shy, introverted teen Charlie as he navigates the minefield of high school. His world changes when he\u2019s adopted by two seniors: Sam (Emma Watson) and her stepbrother, Patrick (Ezra Miller). <\/p>\n The film tackles heavy themes like sexual abuse and depression, and Lerman\u2019s charming performance as Charlie makes the story\u2019s tough moments even more heartbreaking. It\u2019s a testament to his acting that despite the trauma Charlie faces, his journey feels ultimately empowering.<\/p>\n With a stellar cast, it\u2019s easy to forget that Logan Lerman is essentially the lead in the 2014 World War II tank film, Fury<\/a>. Set during the final days of the war in Europe, the story follows the crew of a heavy-duty tank leading an assault on Nazi territory. The seasoned crew, a veritable who\u2019s who of grizzled actors including Brad Pitt<\/a>, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Pe\u00f1a, and Jon Bernthal, must break in a rookie gunner played by Lerman.<\/p>\n Lerman masterfully portrays Ellison\u2019s transformation from a fresh-faced rookie to a seasoned soldier. Initially horrified by the crew\u2019s bleak outlook, Ellison starts to see their point of view as the body count rises. His journey is a heartbreaking, mud-and-guts-splattered depiction of the loss of innocence.<\/p>\n From a demigod to a World War II gunner, Logan Lerman has proven he\u2019s more than just Percy Jackson. With recent roles in fun films like Bullet Train and Oh, Hi!, we can\u2019t wait to see what this versatile actor does next. Here\u2019s hoping it\u2019s another leading role that lets his talent truly shine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.suggest.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After a false start heading a franchise intended to pick up where Harry Potter left off, Logan Lerman has gone on to prove himself a versatile supporting actor with leading man potential bubbling just under the surface.
