Elisabeth Röhm

While studying writing and European history at Sarah Lawrence College, Elisabeth Röhm accidentally discovered acting when she landed a role in the drama department’s production of David Henry Hwang’s “Bondage” (as Madame Butterfly).

Röhm’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, Röhm 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.”

Though born in Düsseldorf, Germany, Röhm was raised in New York City, and is pleased to be again working for Wolf in her hometown. While retaining dual citizenship in the United States and in Germany, Röhm currently resides in Los Angeles and New York City. In her free time, she is working on her debut album and writing a book. Her birthday is April 28.

Röhm left her role as "Law & Order" Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn midseason to pursue a movie career. She can be seen in the film “Miss Congeniality II” with Sandra Bullock.
