Robert Hepler Lowe was born on March 17, 1964, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Early in his life, he experienced undiagnosed mumps, resulting in permanent hearing loss in his right ear. After his parents divorced, he moved with his mother and brother, Chad Lowe, to Malibu, California, where he attended Santa Monica High School. His acting career began at a young age, securing his first professional role at 12 in a production of “Sherlock Holmes” in Dayton, Ohio. By 1979, he was cast in the television comedy “A New Kind of Family.” His breakthrough came in 1983 with the film “The Outsiders,” where he starred alongside other future notable actors. This period established him as a leading figure within the “Brat Pack,” appearing in films like “St. Elmo’s Fire” (1985) and “About Last Night…” (1986).
Lowe’s career saw a significant resurgence at the turn of the millennium when he moved into television, taking on the role of Sam Seaborn in the NBC political drama “The West Wing” (1999–2003). This role earned him critical acclaim, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Globe nominations. Following his departure from “The West Wing,” he continued to build a strong television presence with notable roles such as Robert McCallister in “Brothers & Sisters” (2006–2010), Chris Traeger in “Parks and Recreation” (2010–2015), and Captain Owen Strand in “9-1-1: Lone Star” (2020–2025).

With Rob Lowe” and “Parks and Recollection.”

He also launched a men’s skincare line, Profile™, in 2015, and a fragrance line, 18 Amber Wood, in 2016. Recognized for his contributions to entertainment, Lowe received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015 and the Horatio Alger Award in 2018.
