In 1996, Mohr had the recurring role of Jeff's brother on "The Jeff Foxworthy Show" (ABC) before landing a regular slot as a blue-collar guy on the short-lived Fox sitcom "Local Heroes" (Fox). His TV-movie work has been limited to "The Barefoot Executive" (ABC, 1995), although his feature film debut in Jason Alexander's directorial debut "For Better or Worse" (1995) received wider exposure thanks to its airings on TNT-it received a limited regional theatrical release. In 1998 he had a role on the acclaimed Tom Hanks-Steven Spielberg-produced HBO mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon," and followed up with the leading role of the extremely flawed Hollywood film exec Peter Dragon in the harsh, satirical but short-lived sitcom "Action" (1999). A starring role in the TV miniseries adaptation of novelist Dean R. Koontz's "Black River" (2001) followed, and he then served as the titular host for ESPN's first comedy-variety series, "Mohr Sports" (2002), which lasted one season on the cable sports network.
