She earned her degree from George Mason University in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in Studio Art. Seehorn began her career in college as an actor, and was inspired by her acting professor. She held a variety of ancillary roles within the industry of theater in D.C. to try to make her stand out. She managed to land certain parts in local theatre productions. However, she still was forced to do odd jobs to pay the bills. To pay for her expenses she was also able to take on parts in short industrial instructional films. Then she started to get roles in more television productions usually in roles she described as "very humorous, sarcastic, and knowing women", similar to her idol Bea Arthur. However, most of the roles she played were part-time shows that were cancelled after just one or two seasons. Seehorn was selected to play Kim Wexler on the Breaking Bad prequel series Better Call Saul in May 2014. Seehorn portrays Kim Wexler (a lawyer) and is the love-interest for the Jimmy McGill character.
