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.
