My Take
Elisabeth Rohm is an actress I associate with that reliable presence American network television depended on in the early 2000s. Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, in 1973 and educated at Sarah Lawrence, she became familiar to me first as Kate Lockley on Angel, then as prosecutor Serena Southerlyn on Law & Order. There's a poised, slightly formal quality to her work that suited those procedural roles well. What interests me more lately is her move into directing, which hints at ambitions beyond performing. I tend to root for actors who get curious about the other side of the camera.
