ROB LOWE - LOWE RETURNS TO TELEVISION

LOWE RETURNS TO TELEVISION

ROB LOWE is joining the cast of hit TV drama BROTHERS + SISTERS for at least six episodes to romance CALISTA FLOCKHART's character. The part was written specifically for the star by the show's executive producer JON ROBIN BAITZ, who wrote an episode of THE WEST WING while Lowe was still part of that show. The actor will play a Republican senator from California running for re-election in the midst of a nasty divorce. Although the ABOUT LAST NIGHT star has only signed on for six episodes, Baitz is hoping he'll end up signing on full-time. Baitz says, "He brings a maturity to the role on a show that's about people who are no longer kids." Lowe's character meets up with Flockhart's KITTY WALKER on her conservative political talk show and a romance ensues.
