- "Each of the cast members - there's no two alike - we all come from totally different backgrounds, and we kind of clash beautifully." (about Veronica Mars, Associated Press)

- "I guess I am happy to be able to play many aspects of one guy. Just a great range that the writers have written for this character." (about Logan, Neptunesite)

- "I probably say "fuck" a lot more than anybody else on the set. After a take, it'd be like: Cut – 'fuck' – Print – 'FUCK!' " (Popgurls.com)

- "I feel for V.M. so much when I'm watching at home. It is a wonderful story. The writing is consistently funny, biting, charming, heart-wrenching, etc. I also like the look of it. The cinematography--different from any other show." (About Veronica Mars, Starry Constellation Magazine)

- "I would like to see him go unexpected places. Always great to try new things, and it comes as a great challenge for an actor to make it smooth and believable." (About Logan, Mars Investigations)

- "Practical jokes. I love playing with Weevil when it's on his close-up. When it's close on him, I'm kicking him in the shins underneath the camera. I'm trying to piss him off even more. When we're having intense scenes together, I'll be flipping him off when it's not on me. He'll get really pissed off. I'll call him names that aren't in the script itself that'll enrage him even more. That's what I like. I like practical jokes that are geared to getting more out of the actors." (TV Filter)

- "I think I read Duncan a little bit dark... I always get these roles that are harder for me to do, like the wild guy. I find more freedom in that, though, and I'm glad that it turned out that way." (Backstage.com)

- "It inspires passion. It’s dark. It’s got these intense relationships; you can really emotionally root for certain characters. You just want to hold Veronica. The damage that’s been done to her just tugs at your heartstrings. When she pleaded with her dad to find her mom -- that just makes you feel so much for her. You want to see her win. There’s the relationship between her and her dad. Just the core things, the emotional aspect of it, is what holds people. There are the story lines too; they’re interesting, but it’s people going through life. The closer we get to real life [the more effective it is]. Everyone has those emotions, so we all respond to that." (About Veronica Mars, Chicago Tribune)

Others said:

- "Jason is just, like, the most other-centered person that you know. He’s always thinking about other people, he’s always, he’s so generous with his time. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat." (Alex O'Loughlin, Moonlight-Detective.com)

- "[Josef is] my favorite character on the show. I really enjoy Jason as an actor, and as a person, too. He brings to ‘Moonlight’ a touch of comic relief and a different feel. There’s a little shift of gears every time he’s on that helps me push through from one episode to the next. I love how Josef is so unashamedly hedonistic. He has been around for so long and done so much, Josef has been to so many different countries, he has fed on countless people and slept with countless women, and he just doesn’t have anything left to prove. I think he’s hilarious." (Alex O'Loughlin, Starlog @ Alex-O.net)

- "It is truly a good thing to have Jason Dohring on TV every Friday. Even as a 400-year-old vampire, the wicked charm that drove the girls wild on Veronica Mars comes shining through. This last episode showcased his character nicely, tying Josef’s secret history into Mick and Beth’s present-day problems. A solid hour, thanks in no small part to Dohring’s presence. More of that, please." (Korbi Ghosh, E!Online)

- "And hey, Logan, the best acted best written grey area bad boy in telly ever." (Dr. Who TV Writer Paul Cornell, Paul Cornell's House of Awkwardness)

- "I think Josef will be really fun. Don't you think that that Jason kid looks like a young Mickey Rourke?[...]There's something very sexy about Jason, but he's young and doesn't know it, which is even sexier." (Shannyn Sossamon, IGN.com)

- "I think Logan became a much bigger character than anticipated. It’s the result of Jason Dohring being an engaging performer that all the writers want to write for him." (Rob Thomas, iFMagazine.com interview)

- "Wildly charismatic." (Nikki Britton, Houston Chronicle)

- "I called and begged and begged and begged. But the great thing about casting Alyson, her hesitation was like, 'Am I going back and doing the new Buffy?' But at the same time, she said she loved the show. She knew everything that was going on and she's a really big Jason Dohring [Logan] fan. And the fact that she would get to do scenes with Jason, actually, I think meant a lot to her." (about Alyson Hannigan, Rob Thomas, E! Online's Watch With Kristen)

- "I would say Jason/Logan is the most serious. He is a very intense actor. I really respect his approach to the craft." (Michael Muhney, Mars Investigations)

- "Jason - - I love watching Jason act, because he's so - - he's such a good actor, and there's so much coming up for him in the series, and I've really as an actor learned a lot from him, 'cause I've just been able to watch and he's so intense." (Kristen Bell, Neptunesite)

- "Jason's funny too. He's a good guy. We hang out a lot on the set when we're working together. We'll play chess or whatever. And he's a big poker player too. So it's not like he's all work and no play. That's definitely not how Jason is at all. But when it comes down to his character, and preparing, and all that stuff, he's definitely a true professional in that regard and he takes it very seriously." (Teddy Dunn, Mars Investigations)

- "And don't forget UPN's "Veronica Mars," the little show that could. This smart mystery-drama showcased the acting talents of two noteworthy stars, lead actress Kristen Bell as the title character and supporting player Jason Dohring as nutball-with-a-damaged soul Logan Echolls." (Rob Owen, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

- "Generally what I feel you get told by networks is, 'We need dreamboats. Jason, while he's a handsome guy, is a real actor. He has an intensity that almost can make you uncomfortable ... I'm just riveted by him." (Rob Thomas, OC Register)

- "It's the rare show that can make a character do something that really, genuinely surprises you -- and have you believe wholeheartedly that the character's actions make complete sense. Nowhere is this aspect of the show's considerable charms more evident than in the character of Logan Echolls [the excellent Jason Dohring], Lilly's volatile ex-boyfriend and Veronica's nemesis, who starts off seeming like your stereotypical cocky mean rich kid and gradually becomes one of the most fascinating, unsettlingly appealing characters on the show." (Yee-Fan Sun, DigsMagazine.com)

- "And a big shout-out to Jason Dohring’s Logan Echolls - a masterfully designed and performed nemesis whose twists and turns are always credible." (Kevin Smith, View Askew)

- "Almost everyone in the ensemble shines, particularly Jason Dohring as Veronica's hypnotically incorrigible nemesis, Logan, and the always impressive (Galaxy Quest, anyone?) Colantoni as Keith Mars, the world's greatest dad. (Seriously. Greatest. There should be a mug.)" (Joss Whedon, Entertainment Weekly)

- "I'm unendingly amused by Jason Dohring playing the oft-villainous Logan Echolls like Craig Kilborn with a conscience." (R.D. Heldenfels, Akron Beacon Journal)

- "The character who stands out the most -- aside from Veronica, of course -- is Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring). Like Kristen Bell, Dohring is endlessly engaging. He's introduced as an "obligatory psychotic jackass", but as the season progresses, Logan's humanized without being watered-down; even when he's doing something as thoroughly loathesome as bribing a homeless vet to join in on his homebrew Bumfights video, there's an undercurrent of understanding why Logan is the way he is. The character changes throughout the season, but the shift feels deserved and natural, not just because that's what's scrawled on the whiteboard in the writing room." (Adam Tyner, DVD Talk)

- "Jason Dohring manages to turn what could have been a one-note character into one of the most arresting on the show (as evidenced by his rabid fan following)" (Joel Cunningham, DOc DVD Review)

- "People do love Logan, which I think is a testament to how good Jason Dohring is in the role. He does rotten thing after rotten thing, and yet people want things to turn out well for him." (Rob Thomas, TV Guide Online)
