Logue attended Central Union High School in El Centro, where he became interested in theater. With friend John Everly during what Logue called the "summer during our sophomore year", he created the theater group Imperial Valley Players to perform in the school's auditorium, mounting the theater of the absurd play Picnic on the Battlefield by Fernando Arrabal.

For part of his junior year of high school, Logue attended the Jesuit school St. Ignatius' College in Enfield Town, London, England.{{cite web| url= https://www.jesuit.org.uk/st-ignatius-college-celebrates-125th-anniversary|title=St. Ignatius' College Celebrates 125th Anniversary|publisher=Jesuits in Britain|access-date=July 25, 2020|archive-date=July 25, 2020| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200725133609/https://www.jesuit.org.uk/st-ignatius-college-celebrates-125th-anniversary|url-status=live}} In 1983, while a high-school senior, Donal was elected president of the 37th session of the American Legion Boys Nation, representing California and becoming the first non-citizen elected Boys Nation president.{{cite magazine |last=Romey |first=Andy |title=Hollywood actor recalls 'that one summer' at Boys Nation |url=https://www.legion.org/boysnation/223348/hollywood-actor-recalls-one-summer-boys-nation |magazine=The American Legion |date=July 17, 2014|archive-date= December 18, 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20191218054849/https://www.legion.org/boysnation/223348/hollywood-actor-recalls-one-summer-boys-nation|url-status=live}} He went on to study history at Harvard University, graduating in 1988.{{cite web|url=https://ofa.fas.harvard.edu/blog/big-dawg-donal-logue-88-talks-about-terriers|title=Big Dawg: Donal Logue '88 talks about 'Terriers'|date=October 25, 2010|access-date=July 25, 2020|first=Simon |last=de Carvalho|publisher=Harvard University|archive-date=April 10, 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190410052302/https://ofa.fas.harvard.edu/blog/big-dawg-donal-logue-88-talks-about-terriers|url-status=live}} In the late 1980s, he worked as a road manager for such bands as Bullet LaVolta.

Career

After a few appearances in made for TV films, Logue appeared in the 1992 film Sneakers, playing Dr. Gunter Janek. Of his career start, Logue recalled,

{{blockquote|After being accepted to Harvard as an intellectual history major and being convinced to audition for plays by my college roommates, I auditioned for 15 and didn't get called back for a single one. I had been a road manager for punk bands and a stage manager for a traveling theater company, but nothing had materialized. Out of the blue, though, I got a call to audition for the movie Sneakers out in L.A. and I had very little experience. When I was there, auditioning for the role in front of Ben Kingsley and Robert Redford and getting nods of approval, it provided validation to my efforts. That was my first big movie, and I knew that my life would not be dictated by normality.}}

In 1993, he portrayed Capt. Ellis Spear in Gettysburg, and a movie agent, Judd Bromell, on the Northern Exposure episode "Baby Blues", then later appeared as an FBI agent in The X-Files episode "Squeeze." Logue's character Jimmy The Cab Driver was a staple of MTV promos in the early 1990s. He also appeared in Blade and The Patriot, in 2000. He appeared in two of Edward Burns films: Purple Violets and The Groomsmen.

Logue's portrayal as the lead in The Tao of Steve won him a Special Grand Jury Prize for best actor at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival, and was noticed by ER producer John Wells, who cast Logue in several episodes as Chuck Martin, a nurse Dr. Susan Lewis marries one weekend in Las Vegas on a whim, and later has a child with. Concurrent with the run on ER, Logue starred in the critically acclaimed comedy Grounded for Life. In December 2005, Logue had a pilot development deal for a new situation comedy on ABC television, originally titled I Want to Rob Mick Jagger.{{cite news | url= http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=7044 | title= Breaking News – Development Update: December 2–7 | publisher= TheFutonCritic.com | date= February 7, 2005 | author= The Futon Critic Staff | location= Los Angeles | access-date= December 27, 2017 | archive-date= 30 April 2023 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230430042323/http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=7044 | url-status= live }} The pilot was picked up and debuted in the winter of 2006 under the name The Knights of Prosperity.

Logue starred in FX series Terriers, which ran 13 episodes from September to December 2010. After the show's cancellation, a frustrated Logue briefly left acting for truck-driving, according to his friend and fellow actor W. Earl Brown.{{Cite tweet|user=WEarlBrown|number=1085601899343040512|title=The abrupt TERRIERS cancellation made Donal quit show biz and start driving a truck.|last=Brown|first=W. Earl|author-link=W.

Then he did TERRIERS – a great show...." Logue starred as the main character in Theory of a Deadman's music video for the song "Lowlife", off their 2011 release The Truth Is....

In late 2012, Logue joined the casts of Sons of Anarchy as renegade ex-U.S. Marshal Lee Toric who is out for revenge for the murder of his sister and Vikings as King Horik. In 2013, he joined the cast of BBC America's show Copper as a returning Union General turned Tammany Hall insider, General Brendan Donovan, and he returned to Sons of Anarchy and Vikings to reprise his roles from the previous seasons.

In 2021, Logue appeared in the FX series What We Do in the Shadows, portraying a fictionalized version of himself. He is at first mistaken for his Blade character of Quinn but explains that he had chosen to become a vampire after completing the movie Blade, as the vampire lifestyle appealed to him. This universe's rendition of Logue has become a respected member of the Supreme Worldwide Vampiric Council, is actively in touch with the cast members of Grounded for Life, and is an avid painter.
