Rob Lowe Reveals Hilarious 'Missing Person' Stunt During West Wing Days

Hollywood veteran Rob Lowe recently shared a humorous anecdote from his tenure on the acclaimed political drama "The West Wing," revealing a unique method he employed when he felt his character, Sam Seaborn, was being sidelined. Lowe recounted that during a period where he perceived his character's screen time diminishing, he took matters into his own hands with a creative protest. "At one point, they had sort of written me off the show," Lowe explained, referring to the feeling that his character was becoming less central. To subtly express his concerns, the actor produced custom milk cartons, famously used for missing person alerts, featuring a photograph of his character, Sam Seaborn. The cartons included details such as Sam's date of birth, physical description, and the poignant note, "Missing since Christmas Episode 2002." Lowe humorously added, "Please call Bernie Brillstein, my manager, if you've seen this man." Lowe stated that he sent these distinctive milk cartons to "everybody affiliated with the show, the network, the studio, producers, everybody." The playful yet pointed gesture highlights the actor's dedication to his role and his creative approach to navigating the dynamics of a high-profile television production.
