Elisabeth Rohm Detailed Biography
Elisabeth Rohm plays the brilliant and aggressively ambitious Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn on Law & Order.
While studying writing and European history at Sarah Lawrence College, Rohm quite accidentally discovered acting when she landed a role in the drama department's production of David Henry Hwang's Bondage (as Madame Butterfly).
Rohm's first professional break came when she landed a role on the daytime drama One Life to Live. Soon after, she starred opposite Kyle MacLachlan in Dick Wolf's (executive producer of Law & Order) network television pilot, The Invisible Man, followed by a supporting role in the NBC's miniseries, The ‘60s, and a starring role in the BBC miniseries, Eureka Street.
From 1999-2000, Rohm pulled double duty as she concurrently starred in the cable drama series Bull (alongside Stanley Tucci), and played the recurring role of the young and beautiful detective Kate Lockley on Angel.
While retaining dual citizenship in the United States and in Germany, Rohm currently resides in Los Angeles and New York City.
