Rob Lowe joins me for this week’s edition of my Deadline video series, The Actor’s Side and he has a lot to talk about including not one, but two hit tv series including going into his fifth season on Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star as well as the first of Netflix’s comedy Unstable in which he co-stars with son John Owen Lowe. He also talks about the first time he realized he could actually be funny on television despite having originally gotten his break at age 15 on a failed ABC sitcom, A New Kind Of Family. Lowe also discusses his movie career which is now going on four decades having started in 1983 with a key role in the seminal Francis Coppola film, The Outsiders which also helped launch the careers of Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Diane Lane, Emilio Estevez and others, and a movie he revisits each year in a unique way he reveals. Plus we talk St. Elmo’s Fire and why it still resonates, the possibility of a new Austin Powers, working on The West Wing, Parks & Recreation and others but never staying on a show more than four years until now, and his burgeoning podcast career and as an author.
