Rob Lowe


Rob Lowe (born March 17, 1964) is an American actor who was a member of the Brat Pack.

Rob Lowe became famous after appearing in a string of popular movies that included other members of the brat pack, the most notable being St. Elmo's Fire.

In 1988, Lowe gained notoriety after he was caught on tape engaging in sexual activities with two women, one of whom was underage. After a brief flurry of media attention, Lowe was sentenced to twenty hours of community service, and the scandal soon subsided.

He is perhaps best known for playing Sam Seaborn in the television show The West Wing, a role which was his from 1999 - 2003. When the show premiered, Lowe's character was to be much more important. But the extremely talented cast — including Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, Stockard Channing, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen (who was only supposed to be a guest star) — soon made the show into the hottest ensemble cast on TV, and Sam Seaborn became possibly the character with the least screen time. Lowe left the show in a highly publicized exit during the fourth season. His exit was quickly followed by that of series creator and writer Aaron Sorkin, and director Tommy Schlamme - a move which saw the show's style change greatly, to mixed reactions from fans.

After leaving, he was star and executive producer of a failed NBC drama The Lyon's Den (2003). In 2004, he tried again in a series entitled dr. vegas, but it also was canceled.
