Rob Lowe is an American actor, filmmaker, and entertainment host, born on March 17, 1964, in Charlottesville, Virginia. He began his acting career in the early 1980s, gaining prominence as a teen idol and a member of the “Brat Pack.” Notable films from this period include The Outsiders (1983), St. Elmo’s Fire (1985), and About Last Night… (1986).
Transitioning to television, Lowe starred in the acclaimed series The West Wing (1999–2003) and Parks and Recreation (2010–2015), earning critical praise for his performances.
In addition to acting, Lowe hosts the podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe, where he engages in in-depth conversations with various guests.
Currently, Lowe hosts the game show The Floor on Fox, which premiered in January 2025. The show features contestants competing on a high-tech LED floor, combining strategy and trivia. Filmed at Ardmore Studios in Bray, Ireland, the production benefits from financial incentives, making it more cost-effective than filming in Los Angeles.
