Rob Lowe played Sam Seaborn on The West Wing from 1999 to 2003, but he was written out in the fourth season. According to rumors, it was because his character did not have a lot to do, which was the case, as other lesser-known actors at the beginning of the show were getting better storylines.
There were also rumors that Lowe was unhappy about the way he was treated on the series in general. So when he was finally written out of the political drama, he sent everyone involved a gift. It was a milk carton with his face on it, asking if anyone had seen Sam Seaborn.
I have to admit that was brilliant and funny. However, at the time, I am sure he didn’t find it funny.
However, now it is 22 years later, and all is good between him and the people involved with The West Wing. Therefore, he can laugh at about it now!
Even though he was kind of screwed over by what happened, I think we can all agree that he is career turned out OK.
Rob Lowe was walking in Beverly Hills with his son Johnny, and he got noticed by the guide of a Hollywood tour bus.
Well, sort of. That is because he mistook the Outsider for the insider John Stamos.
How did the ageless actor react? He looked at his kid with disbelief. Then, he asked the tourists, “Do I like John Stamos?” They all screamed no before admitting that he is Rob Lowe!
Lowe jokingly told the driver to get better at his job. The driver said he was just having some fun because he never expects to see celebrities, as he gives tours about seeing celebrities’ homes.
The Floor host then let the driver retake control. Before he got the tour back on track, he thanked Uncle Jesse, I mean Sam Seaborn, for having such a “cool energy.”
At this point, Lowe has to be used to being confused for the other guy. I don’t know why because they don’t look alike and their careers have not followed the same path! Although they are both cool to their fans, and that is why the Parks & Recreation star literally made those tourists’ trip one they will never forget!
Over the summer, Andrew McCarthy released the doc Brats about him and the other Brat Pack members. The Brat Pack title came about from an article promoting the actors from St. Elmo’s Fire.
Therefore, there were rumors we are going to get a sequel 40 years after the original. And Rob Lowe addressed the rumors to Extra’s Terri Seymour.
She asked him about Demi Moore’s Golden Globe win. That is when he said that they have known each other for a while and did two movies (St. Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night) together. Then he shared with her, “We’re working on St Elmo’s Fire 2 together.”
However, there is no start date yet because they are waiting for the script to be finished before they begin filming.
I don’t know how thrilled I am for this movie. Truth be told, I found the first one boring, even though I liked looking at the actors in the film. After the doc came out, I discovered why the movie did not resonate with me, and that is because it is a Baby Boomer movie and not a Gen X one like the John Hughes cult classics.
Are you looking forward to then getting into motion for the film?
Back in the ’80s, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore starred in St. Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night together. In fact, the two of them dated for a short period of time.
Did it hurt their friendship? Not at all. On Saturday, Lowe came out to support his ex at a screening of her movie The Substance.
I know there is talk of a St. Elmo’s Fire sequel. But I would prefer if they did their own film.
Yesterday, we got a sneak peek of the final few episodes of the First Responders procedural. The series is going out with a bang, as in a meteor hauling its way towards Austin.
There were rumors that Lone Star was going to end with a catastrophic event, and this would totally be that.
It’s about time a show that was ending ended with everyone dying! At least, I hope that is how it ends. Not that I want them to die, but I want a program to finally have the balls to kill everyone off. Although, isn’t that how Lost ended?
Lone Star returns on January 20th and will say goodbye on February 3rd.
