The Lowe Files Starring Rob Lowe
On TV, Rob Lowe has played a city manager (Parks & Rec), White House communications director (West Wing), wannabe lawyer (The Grinder) and doctor (Code Black). But The Lowe Files gives him a new small-screen role: Dad Rob Lowe.
In The Lowe Files, a reality series premiering on A&E this summer, the actor and his two sons, 23-year-old Matthew Edward and 21-year-old John Owen, travel the country and explore unsolved mysteries. Lowe admits the idea for the TV series has been simmering for years: “We as a family have always been into spooky campfire stories and ghost stories. We watched Ancient Aliens, Finding Bigfoot and wonder if it’s real or not real. These are all supernatural, freaky stories.” The Lowes also search for Bigfoot in the series. “Since I was a kid I’ve loved unexplained legends, strange phenomena and the scary, supernatural stories told around campfires. When I became a father I shared those tales with my two sons,” Lowe revealed in a press release. “And we swore that some day the three of us would go on our own adventure to find out. That day has come.”
Among the explorations in the nine-episode season: checking out an “alien base” in Malibu (which has also been called an underwater UFO), attempting to connect with spirits at an abandoned boys’ reformatory and training with a top-secret government operative.
