Early life

Born on the North Carolina Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Bohrer was raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Billings, Montana; and Arlington, Texas,[1] where she attended Lamar High School.[2] She was active in drama, band, and student government.

She attended the University of Texas at Arlington to study journalism but never graduated.[1][3]

Career

While in college, she modeled, performed in commercials, and worked as a dancer.[1]

Film and television

By the time of her 22nd birthday, Bohrer was in Hollywood, working on her first on-screen assignment — a one-minute role as a stranded motorist on McClain's Law, the pilot telefilm of the 1981 James Arness series of the same name. In 1986 she appeared in the 22nd episode of the first season of MacGyver as Terry Ross. In 1988 she co-starred opposite Randy Quaid in Dead Solid Perfect,[3] and followed that with a co-starring role opposite Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage in the comedy Vice Versa.[3][4] During the 1990s, she appeared on Murder, She Wrote.

Many of her major roles were in short-lived sitcoms. She played a young pediatric nurse who had a crush on Elliott Gould in the 1984-1985 CBS sitcom E/R,[3] a bohemian witch who becomes a nanny for a motherless family, Bohrer's first role as lead actress, in the early 90s ABC sitcom Free Spirit,[5] and a prim and conservative administrative assistant who acted as a foil to her boss, an unscrupulous City Councilman played by James Garner in the NBC sitcom Man of the People.[3]

She is also known as Trickster's sidekick Prank in the 1990 CBS series The Flash and the version from The CW, in which she appeared in a 2018 episode.

Bohrer's work has included a recurring role as Lianne Mars, the wayward mother of the title character in the CW television series Veronica Mars.[6]

She was featured in the Dream On episode "What I Did for Lust" and the Friends episode "The One Where Rachel Finds Out" (1995).

Commercials

Bohrer has also frequently appeared in commercials. She appeared in McDonald's 1987 Chicken McNuggets Shanghai campaign.[7] She also played the role of the "counselor" in Apple Inc.'s "Get a Mac" ad campaign. Other commercials include Totino's Pizza Rolls, Walgreens, Campbell's low sodium soup and Bounty ("One-sheeter"!).

Theatre

In 1983 she appeared in Larry Ketron's comedy The Trading Post at the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble in Los Angeles.[8]
