It's

hearing
the
devastating
news.
This
picture
was
early
in
the
filming
of
The
Flash
pilot
episode
back
in
2014.
I
was
so
impressed
by
not
only
Logan's
talent
but
his
professionalism
on
set.
My
thoughts
and
prayers
will
be
with
him
and
his

what
is
I'm
sure
an
unimaginably
difficult
time
for
them.
Please
keep
Logan

his
family

your
thoughts
and
prayers
during
what
has
been
a
strange
and
trying
time
for
us
