Robert Hepler Lowe was born on March 17, 1964 in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. He is an American actor.

Lowe's good looks made him a particular hit with the ladies, and he quickly became a leading man. However, a 1988 homemade videotape of him cavorting in bed with a teenager humiliated him publicly.

In the mid-1990s Lowe returned to prominence, mixing character roles with self-effacing comedy parts. His credits include the films St. Elmo's Fire (1985), Bad Influence (1990), Wayne's World (1992) and The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and the TV series The West Wing (1999-2003).

He also starred in View from the Top (2003), Thank You for Smoking (2005) and TV Series "Brothers & Sisters".

Lowe married Sheryl Berkoff.
