Lohr was seen in the 2005 film adaptation of Rent alongside Menzel; he played Steve in the Life Support group. He also performed with Menzel in Michael John LaChiusa’s See What I Wanna See and was seen in the original Off-Broadway production of the pop opera bare.
The actress was previously married to Rent co-star Taye Diggs, but the two separated in late 2013 after ten years of marriage.
