Lohr became a recognizable player of the Disney Studios stable, appearing in many of their films, including The Mighty Ducks series and Newsies.[1] He provided the singing voice for Max Goof in A Goofy Movie (filling in for Jason Marsden).[2] In 2000, he starred as Micky Dolenz in the VH1 television film Daydream Believers: The Monkees' Story.[3]

He appeared in the 2005 film adaptation of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway musical Rent,[4] directed by Chris Columbus.

Independent film releases include Henry Bean's Noise, Jim Koya Jones' taut psychological thriller The Wreck, and Manslaughter produced by Jim Koya Jones.

More recent work has included many leading roles in New York theater productions. He performed as Matt in the Off-Broadway production of Bare: A Pop Opera in 2004.[6] He has appeared in several productions at the Public Theater. His inaugural performance there was in George Wolfe's Radiant Baby in 2003.[7] This led to his starring role in See What I Want To See by Michael John LaChuisa.
