Logan Browning continues growth in ‘White People’

Browning worked on the TV series “Meet the Browns,” “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” and “Pair of Kings.” At one point, Browning was starring on two series — she appeared on “Powers” between seasons of “Hit the Floor.”

The most notoriety she has earned, though, probably came from playing Sasha in the 2007 live-action release “Bratz: The Movie.”

Browning said working on “Powers” was one of the best jobs she has had because the series created for Playstation Video was filmed in her hometown and she got to play a superhero. Her character, Zora, was an inexperienced hero who had the power to manipulate light.

“I liked playing a young hero, kind of like Spider-man, who is trying to figure out everything,” Browning said. “I didn’t grow up reading comic books, but I have always liked the comic book movies. I like the Marvel and DC Universe.”

In the case of “Powers,” Browning said she grew as she learned to work with the special effects. Her acting process on “Dear White People” is different and starker, as the 30-year-old often is alone in a radio studio booth talking to a microphone.

“I find the stillness so powerful,” Browning said. “If you are sitting behind a microphone and you clearly have something to say, you feel like it is an isolated viewpoint. When I am sitting there, I feel like that is my throne.”

And though the radio station is a key place for presenting significant ideas, Browning stressed that the series should be looked at chiefly as being about the lives, loves and losses that all the characters go through.
