Chad Lowe: Life, Career & Rob Lowe's Brother - All About Him
Ever wondered what happened to that young actor who touched hearts in "Life Goes On"? Charles Davis "Chad" Lowe II carved a significant niche in Hollywood, far beyond being just Rob Lowe's younger brother.
Chad Lowe, born on January 15, 1968, in Dayton, Ohio, isn't just another name in the Hollywood constellation. He's an American actor, director, and producer who has steadily built a career marked by both critical acclaim and diverse roles. The son of Barbara Lynn (Hepler), a school teacher, and Charles Davis Lowe, a trial lawyer, Chad's path was significantly shaped by his family dynamics, most notably his relationship with his older brother, actor Rob Lowe. While Rob achieved early heartthrob status, Chad distinguished himself with performances that showcased vulnerability and depth. The Lowe brothers, sons of the late Barbara Hepler, a high school English teacher, and Charles Chuck Lowe, a lawyer, experienced the complexities of a family fractured by divorce when Rob was just four years old and Chad even younger.
