James Logan

1. Jamie can remember the exact moment he realised he really liked - no fell in love - with Maddy Goren. He had come back from Stanford for a weekend to help his Dad organise Max and Sasha's Before Party for Prom. Naturally Maddy, who was Sasha's best friend, had come over to help Sasha and whilst they were lifting boxes filled with streamers and balloons up the stairs she had dropped one on her foot and started cursing in French.

They do call French a romantic language after all.

2. He did technically become a cop but his heart wasn't really in it. Instead he saved up and took a two month trip around Asia and only then as he saw a small boy begging on the streets in Thailand he knew where real justice needed to be served. So he came back to New York and decided to try end poverty in his country - and then later, the world.

He's still trying.

3. He can speak over four languages - Polish, French (Maddy is still teaching him), Spanish, Italian and a tiny bit of Thai. He owes it all to his Mama since she gave him a head start when he was little. His younger siblings soon gave up on languages after their Mama passed away but when he speaks a foreign tongue, especially Polish his mother's tongue, he feels that step closer to her and that's why he practices every day.

4. He was seventeen when he lost his virginity. It was New Years Eve and Eli Stabler had invited him to come to a party in the Bronx with a couple of friends from baseball. A couple of beers and not a lot of common sense and he found himself starkers in some college girl's room the next morning. But it wasn't until he was twenty-five that he learnt the key distinction between sex and making love.

5. Jamie has had too many pets over the years to count - fish (they died), birds (they flew away), hermit crabs (what do they even do?), and a mouse called Henry that met a very unfortunate fate when Henry escaped and his neighbour saw him. He was about to give up on pets when a border collie puppy raced out barking from some bushes in Central Park to him on day. He couldn't save the owner but he did catch the bastard responsible.

He later called the dog Deakins and he's been his best friend ever since.
