Rob Lowe has cut quite a path through primetime during the 20-plus years since he joined “The West Wing.”
He turned down “Grey’s Anatomy,” but landed in the ensemble of “Parks and Recreation.” He sold a show about chasing Bigfoot with his sons to A&E Network. From 2003 to 2018 he was also a regular or recurring on series “Code Black,” “The Grinder,” “Californication,” “Brothers and Sisters,” “Dr. Vegas” and “The Lyon’s Den.” Then there was the scene-stealing turn as a plastic surgeon in 2013’s “Behind the Candelabra,” and roles in U.K. episodic series productions including 2005’s “Beach Girls,” 2015’s “You, Me and the Apocalypse” and 2019’s “Wild Bill.”
The 56-year-old Parks And Recreation star almost starred in Grey s Anatomy before turning down, but he says fans would have just though of him as Rob Lowe rather than as McDreamy.
