New Bedford actor plays the son of iconic 'Sex and the City' character on the reboot

NEW BEDFORD — And just like that... Logan Souza made his acting debut on HBO's “Sex and the City” reboot as the son of Carrie's ex-lover Aidan Shaw.

“It's amazing. I loved it. I mean, I really wanted to be an actor growing up. So being able to go up to New York City and act for HBO, it was great,” Souza, 15, said.

Back in October 2022, after participating in the New England Talent Showcase which prepares rising talent with headshots, a monologue and a 30-second commercial spot to perform for potential agents — Souza signed with John Shea of Frontier Booking International.

He received a script to do a self-tape for “And Just Like That…” and found out only a month later that he booked the role. He reported to set in March 2023.

Now, Souza is putting a face to the name in the eighth and ninth episode of season two.

In the series, Aidan visits Carrie but forgets to call his son when his plane lands — who is nervous when he flies. So, he FaceTimes his father to give him a little scolding.

“I'm like a moody teenager,” he said. “They ended up letting me also improvise because they wanted to add a little bit more to it. They loved it.”

In next week’s episode, Souza FaceTimes his dad complaining about his mom — Shaw’s ex-wife Kathy (Rosemarie DeWitt), who invites Carrie out for coffee. Souza said that if the series is renewed for a third season, he could potentially return for more episodes.

The Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School student also said he has several projects on the horizon and tries to audition for anything that could fit him that either his agent sends or he sees on a casting website.

“Follow your dreams. I’m short, and I've had people tell me that I would only get roles like Dobby [the house-elf] in ‘Harry Potter’ or something, because of my size,” he said.

“Honestly, you can do whatever you want. There’s a place in the acting world for everyone.”
