Replace Law and Order's ADA Elizabeth Rohm
Sign Now
Dear Mr. Wolf and NBC Studios,
As a long time fan of Law and Order, I am deeply dismayed at the quality of acting ability displayed by Elizabeth Rohm, who plays ADA Serena Southerlyn. Unlike her predecessors, Ms. Rohm shows a limited acting range in several areas:
1. She is unpleasant to listen to because speaks in a monotone voice with little inflection. Moreover, she appears to be incapable of changing the tone of her voice even when the mood of the script demands it.
2. Second, her facial expression barely changes during her scenes. Often, her face is blank and her eyes look glassy/glazed over; combined with her monotone voice, it gives the impression that she is reading off cue cards.
3. Third, she does not 'react' to her co-stars lines; a large part of good acting is 'reacting'. Ms. Rohm usually appears to be impatiently waiting for her co-stars to finish speaking so that she can interject with her lines.
Finally, the combination of all these factors make segments involving the Serena Southerlyn character literally unwatchable and annoying. As a fan, I understand that there is a need to have an attractive actress play the ADA role, I do not feel that the quality of acting should be sacrificed.

Elizabeth Rohm is a delight. Please keep her. So much better than Angie Harmon. Give her a chance to gain valuable experience. After all Rohm wasn't built in a day!

She ain't no Harmon or Hennessey, but she's okay. No need to fire her, for God's sake.

She looks great. Who cares if she can act? You guys need to get your priorities straight. Hot girls are all that matter.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that I am not the only one to think that this woman is a terrible actress! She is cute enough, but her lack of acting ability is wrecking my enjoyment of one of my favorite shows.

Elisabeth Rohm has poisoned Law & Order. She is the reason why the show wasn't nominated for an outstanding drama series Emmy this year. Thanks a lot, b*tch!

I Love Elizabeth Rohm. She was great in Angel and she is great in Law in Order. Don't listen to these fools. They don't know what they doing.

This stupid petition has been going on for so long. Looks like Elizabeth Rohm's place on "L&O" is secure and all these losers will just have to whine till the grave. Oh yeah, by the way, Nicole Blake must be some kinda pathetic, bitter c- -t to come u

Rohm's continued presence on the show is an insult to the show's fans and, more importantly, to the show itself. After having been a devoted follower for nine years, I can no longer view the show consistently because Rohm's amateurish performances are imp
