Lowe was baptized into the Episcopalian church, though his maternal grandparents were Methodists.[1] He was raised in a "traditional midwestern setting"[1] in Dayton, Ohio and on the Westside of Los Angeles, attending Santa Monica High School, where one of his classmates was fellow Brat-Packer Emilio Estevez. He was voted "most spirited" in high school.

Lowe is perhaps best known for playing Sam Seaborn in the television series The West Wing from 1999-2003. His performance in the show garned Lowe an Emmy and two Golden Globe Award Nominations for Best Actor in a Drama Series. When the show premiered, Seaborn was considered the lead, and the pilot centered on the character. But the acclaimed cast of the show — including Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford, Martin Sheen (whose President Bartlet was initially scripted as a small role) and Stockard Channing (whose First Lady was initially scripted as a guest role) — meant that Sam Seaborn could no longer be considered the lead character.

While he reluctantly accepted his demotion, Lowe and series creator Aaron Sorkin soon found themselves at odds over the network's meddling with the show, most notably the network demanding changes in the Sam Seaborn character. Eventually, Lowe left the series, not long before Sorkin and director/executive producer Thomas Schlamme unceremoniously quit over a dispute with NBC - a move which saw the show's style change greatly, resulting in decreased ratings and mostly negative reactions from critics and fans. During the final season of The West Wing, Lowe returned to his role of Sam Seaborn, appearing in two of the final four episodes.

After leaving the show, Lowe was star and executive producer of a failed NBC drama, The Lyon's Den (2003). In 2004, he tried again in a series entitled Dr. Vegas, but it also was quickly cancelled. In 2005, he starred as Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee in a London West End production of Sorkin's play A Few Good Men, the first time the two had worked together since The West Wing. Although Lowe had expressed unhappiness about his decreased role on that show at the time of his departure, he has now repeatedly said that any animosity between them is over and that he was pleased to be working once more with Sorkin, whose talents as a writer Lowe highly regards. Lowe passed on the role of Dr. Derek Shepard of Grey's Anatomy, which eventually went to Patrick Dempsey.[2] This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Despite his two cancelled TV series and flops like View From the Top and the made for tv movie Perfect Strangers during his post-West Wing run, Lowe found success in the TV miniseries genre. 2004 marked his return to this genre since 1994's The Stand which was based on Stephen King's book of the same name. In 2004, Lowe starred in the TNT remake of the Stephen King miniseries 'Salem's Lot which was the highest rated cable program of that summer and the highest ratings TNT original programming had at the time. In 2005, Lowe starred in the miniseries "Beach Girls" on the Lifetime network which was based on the Lunann Rice novel of the same name. The series premiere received the highest ratings for a movie premiere in Lifetime history. In that same year, Lowe filmed his critically acclaimed role as super movie agent in the 2006 independent film Thank You for Smoking. In 2006, he filmed The Perfect Day for TNT, in which he took a pay cut to film in New Orleans in order to help the hurricane ravaged area.

Sex tape controversy In 1988, Lowe was involved in a sex scandal over a videotape of him having sex with two females, one of whom was sixteen, in Atlanta while attending the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Lowe has asserted that he did not know that the second girl was underaged, and it was confirmed that the two had met at a bar, which the girl entered by lying about her age.

The 1988 National Convention of the U.S. Democratic Party was held at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia from July 18–21, 1988 to select a candidate for the 1988 United States presidential election. ...
Further complicating the issue was another part of the same tape that leaked at the time, showed Lowe, a young American model called "Jennifer", and "Justin Morris" having a menage-a-trois in a hotel room in Paris. This part of the original tape was made commercially available and was sold as one of the first commercially available "celebrity sex tapes", lending a black eye towards Rob Lowe's public image. A celebrity sex tape is a home video of sex acts, as performed by a celebrity and his or her partner, which finds Internet and/or bootleg distribution and made available to an audience for which it was not supposedly intended. ...
Lowe's career was damaged by the scandal, and he later entered a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol and sex addiction. Eventually, his career rebounded and Lowe mocked his own behavior during two post-scandal appearances as host of Saturday Night Live.

Lowe is a founder of the Homeowner's Defense Fund, a Santa Barbara County non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to local control of land use planning and transparency in government.[3] The average price of tract homes in Santa Barbara in early 2006 is $1,100,000, which has motivated some to propose denser housing on existing lots. At the same time Lowe opposes new housing for others, he has sought to build a 14,260 square-foot mansion for himself on an empty lot in Montecito, California.[4] Lowe's protest over the appearance of the address of the empty lot in the Santa Barbara News-Press precipitated a mass resignation of senior employees at that newspaper on July 6, 2006,[5] and was a proximate cause of the Santa Barbara News-Press controversy. Lowe is a registered Democrat. [1] Montecito is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Barbara County, California. ...
