Casting About: Rob Lowe Joins Sisters Act
UPDATE ON ROB LOWE: Be sure to check out Brothers & Sisters exec producer Jon Robin Baitz' brand-new TVGuide.com blog entry regarding Lowe joining the cast.
As first spilled by the Ausiello Report, former West Winger Rob Lowe is joining ABC's Brothers & Sisters as a Republican senator and romantic interest for Calista Flockhart's Kitty (and no, that was not a euphemism). Lowe will appear in at least six episodes; Mike has the details.... Per Reuters, Alicia Witt (Cybill) will star in Blue Smoke, a Lifetime movie based on the Nora Roberts best-seller about a female arson investigator haunted by a pyromaniac stalker. Scott Bakula, Talia "Adrian!!!" Shire (as Witt's mother) and Matthew Settle (Brothers & Sisters) also star.... Relative newbies Rachel Specter (Entourage), Brendan Miller (Accepted), Anna Osceola, John Keefe (The Practice), Christopher Todd (The Sopranos) and Jocelin Donahue will populate the Comedy Central pilot Not Another High School Show, which promises to skewer the likes of The O.C. and Dawson's Creek. Awesome.

I have always loved Rob Lowe. I'm not a big Flockhart fan, but he's bound to liven up her scenes! I wish there was more sisters than just Kitty and Sarah. Wait! Maybe there is when our beloved Emily VanCamp joins the family as Holly & Williams daughter. Okay, not true, but I'm just reallllly hoping for that one! (the Emily part isn't true, not the daughter part, that probably is).

Rob Lowe! That just upped the pretentiousness of this show. Don't get me wrong, I love the show, but Rob Lowe brings a "I'm better than all of you" attitude to any character he plays.
On second thought - if he's playing a Republican senator, then its good casting. LOL!

Glad the hottie got work. I've missed him since his most recent jobs fizzled.
