I’ve never noticed it until now, but he and Ian Somerhalder look related! Especially when Lowe was younger.

What? His last name is pronounced “low”? As a Geman I always thought about a lion (“Löwe” in German) and kind of pronounced it different in my mind.

It’s funny Rob mentions Stranger Things cause I was literally just thinking Dacre Montgomery looks like a young Rob Lowe.

the west wing and parks & rec are two perfect television shows, my favorites ever. i’m not sure how much of a factor it is that rob lowe is in both of them, but it’s def not a detractor.
