He is best known for his role as Southern Californian rich kid Logan Echolls on the television series Veronica Mars.

In 2006, Dohring was nominated for an Ivy award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work in Veronica Mars. In 2007, he starred in a straight-to-DVD release, The Deep Below.
