Elisabeth Rohm

A three-time SAG Award nominee and one-time winner, Elisabeth Rohm is a celebrated actor-director-author-producer whose work across film and television has made her a respected and versatile force in Hollywood. With a career marked by fearless performances and creative reinvention, Rohm has carved out a distinct path as both a dynamic on-screen talent and a powerful storyteller behind the camera.

She first rose to prominence as Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn on the long-running, Emmy-winning series Law & Order, where she was a series regular for five seasons and received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. Early in her career, Rohm also became a cult favorite for her role as Detective Kate Lockley in Joss Whedon's supernatural series Angel, establishing her presence in genre television. She also had memorable roles in Jane the Virgin, The Last Ship, Flaked, Stalker, and Heroes.

Rohm’s film career is equally impressive, with more than 80 credits to her name. She co-starred in David O. Russell’s Academy Award-nominated ensemble films American Hustle, for which she and the cast won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and Joy, acting alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Robert De Niro. Her filmography includes leading and supporting roles in Miss Congeniality 2, Transit, The Tribes of Palos Verdes, Bombshell, and Sleeping with Danger, showcasing her ability to move seamlessly between drama, comedy, thriller, and biopic genres.

In recent years, Rohm has helmed eight feature-length films, notably the critically discussed “Girl in the Basement,” inspired by a true story and praised for its unflinching storytelling, and “Husband, Father, Killer: The Alyssa Pladl Story,” which streamed in the Top Ten on Netflix for two weeks. Her directing credits also include “Wife Stalker,” “Switched Before Birth,” “Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story,” “Girl in Room 13,”  and “The Dating App Killer,” earning her recognition for her compelling approach to female-led and socially conscious narratives. Her next film, “Our Daughter Has Disappeared,” will be released in 2027. 

Further expanding her creative reach, Rohm recently co-founded Rohm Feifer Entertainment with Executive Producer Kara Feifer, a production company dedicated to developing bold, elevated content with a focus on empowering voices and complex characters, especially those of women. Her producing work continues to amplify stories that resonate on a cultural and emotional level. The company currently has a vast development slate ranging from television series, feature films, and unscripted with a focus on true crime and true stories.

With a career that spans network television, prestige films, independent cinema, and now content development and directing, Elisabeth Rohm continues to evolve as a trailblazing creative, bringing both heart and vision to every project she touches.
