“In spite of being professionally gregarious, in my nonpaid hours I'm a bit of a hermit. After being around a crew of fifty people for twelve hours a day on a film set, I really like my alone time, and as always, I abhor small talk.”

American actor and entertainment host

Rob Lowe is an American actor and entertainment host. He first gained wide attention in the early 1980s, when television roles helped make him a teen idol and a member of the Brat Pack. His screen career became closely associated with a series of leading roles in films such as The Outsiders, Class, The Hotel New Hampshire, Oxford Blues, St. Elmo's Fire, About Last Night..., Youngblood, Masquerade, and Bad Influence. In the 1990s, his career shifted, and he appeared mainly in direct-to-video and television films as a lead, while also taking supporting parts in studio comedies including Wayne's World, Tommy Boy, and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. His work is best known through that mix of youthful stardom and later character roles.
