“Our goal as women should be to discover who we are and not who we think we should be or who the world wants us to be. It's not our responsibility to be arm candy!” Elisabeth Rohm.
After auditioning for her college production of “Bondage,” Elisabeth Rohm became hooked in acting. Following graduation, she briefly worked as an agent's assistant in New York and subsequently landed an uncredited appearance in writer-director-actor Woody Allen's Oscar-nominated comedy Deconstructing Harry (1997). She followed it up with first professional TV job, playing the recurring role of Dorothy Hayes (1997-1998) on the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live."
The new comer then was recruited by producer Dick Wolf to play a role on Fox 1998 movie The Invisible Man. The next year, she was featured in two miniseries: the NBC’s "The 60s" (starring Josh Hamilton, Julia Stiles and Jerry O'Connell) and the BBC's “Eureka Street,” a drama comedy based on Robert McLiam Wilson's novel. She also nabbed her first longest-running role to that point, as Kate Lockley (1999-2001), a young, skeptical detective for the LAPD, on The WB’s “Angel,” the popular supernatural spin-off from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” series.
During her “Angel” stint, Rohm had featured role as Alison Jeffers (2000), an ambitious Wall Street investment banker, on the brief-lived TNT drama series "Bull." In the fall of 2001, she reunited with Dick Wolf who asked her to replace Angie Harmon on NBC's long-running legal drama "Law & Order," playing Assistant District Attorney (A.D.A.) Serena Southerlyn, a long line of brainy and beautiful sidekicks to A.D.A. Jack McCoy (played by veteran actor Sam Waterston). She left the series midway through the fifteenth (2004–2005) season and was succeeded by Annie Parisse, who played ADA Alexandra Borgia.
"Sam Waterston has been a great teacher and friend who has taught me about taking risks." Elisabeth Rohm (on working with Sam Waterston in "Law & Order”).
After departing from "Law & Order,” Rohm supported Sandra Bullock in the 2005 action movie/comedy film directed by John Pasquin, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. She also starred in the TV movies FBI: Negotiator (2005), playing an FBI agent who must negotiate with a woman holding a hospital hostage in order to get her hands on an experimental drug, and in Amber's Story (2006), a biographical drama.
Elisabeth is currently busy on set completing her upcoming film projects: Aftermath, writer-director Thomas Farone's crime thriller which also starring Anthony Michael Hall, Chris Penn and Tony Danza, and Ghost Image, a thriller by director Jack Snyder.
