'With Actors on Board, Games Shoot for Realism' by Hiawatha Bray Boston Globe Website October 22, 2003 [clipped for relevant Elisabeth parts] TV performers are also getting into the act. Elisabeth Rohm is entering her third season as assistant district attorney Serena Southerlyn on the NBC drama "Law & Order." During her first year on the show, she recorded the dialogue for two computer games based on the series. The first, Dead on the Money, was released last year; the second, Double or Nothing, has recently hit store shelves. "I did it right when I joined the show," Rohm says, "which was somewhat intimidating, because I was just beginning to explore my own character." Which means that the Serena character you see today was developed in a sound booth, reading dialogue for a computer game. "I really kind of relied on the vibe of the show," Rohm says. "In terms of helping me develop my character, it was really useful." On the other hand, Rohm says her previous experience in movies and television series such as "Angel" didn't quite prepare her for computer game work. "The rules of my character in the game are very basic," she says. "It doesn't have the emotional range of the television screen or the movie screen." So don't hold your breath waiting for an Oscar- or Emmy-worthy performance in a game. But then, it's a computer game. The person at the controls is the one who's supposed to do the winning.
