Actor and Democratic activist Rob Lowe isn't exactly moving from "The West Wing" to the right wing, but he's going to play a real-life role in Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial campaign, people close to the situation said Thursday.
The 39-year-old actor has been asked by Schwarzenegger and his wife, Democrat Maria Shriver, who are longtime social friends, to take a senior position in the campaign, the sources said. Although Lowe is expected to have a co-chair title, his exact role is still being defined.......
....The young Hollywood celebrity attended the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, where he had a front row seat on the floor. He also videotaped a sexual romp with two young women in a hotel room. When the explicit tape surfaced 10 months later, in May 1989, Lowe made national headlines.
Because the scandal involved a minor, Lowe had to perform 20 months of community service. He subsequently underwent rehabilitation for drug and alcohol problems........ latimes.com |
