Born in Los Angeles back in 1976, Aaron Lohr always had a passion for the performing arts, which eventually led him to major in theater at UCLA. Early on, Aaron Lohr showed a natural talent for performance—remember that dancing boy in Deniece Williams’ 1984 music video for “Let’s Hear It for the Boy”? That was actually Aaron Lohr as a kid, featured in the iconic “Footloose” soundtrack era. As he grew older, Aaron Lohr continued building his acting resume with memorable roles, like Mush in the now-cult classic “Newsies” (1992), a role that still resonates with fans today. Then came another standout performance when Aaron Lohr portrayed Dean in Disney’s beloved sports film “The Mighty Ducks” (1994).

Throughout the ‘90s, Aaron Lohr stayed active in Hollywood, appearing in several films that helped shape that decade’s youth cinema. You might recall him in “A Goofy Movie” (1995), or later reprising his role in “D3: The Mighty Ducks” (1996). He also starred in “Trojan War” (1997), further showcasing his range. Jumping into the 2000s, Aaron Lohr took on the role of Steve in the 2005 film adaptation of the hit musical “Rent.” Interestingly, that project brought more than just career growth—it’s where he met actress Idina Menzel, and years later, in 2017, the two tied the knot.

While many know Aaron Lohr from his screen roles, he’s also deeply committed to live theater. In fact, beyond his film work, Aaron Lohr has dedicated much of his time to stage performances in New York City. He’s been involved with numerous productions staged by The Public Theater, demonstrating his versatility and ongoing love for the craft.

Trivia

When it comes to Aaron Lohr’s film career, one standout performance definitely shines brighter than the rest—his role in Rent (2005) is widely regarded as his highest-rated movie. Fans and critics alike have praised Aaron Lohr for his contribution to this musical adaptation, which has earned a special place in his filmography. On the other end of the spectrum, D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996) tends to receive more mixed reactions, making it Aaron Lohr’s lowest-rated project to date. While Aaron Lohr brought energy to the team, the film didn’t quite hit the same high notes as Rent.
