For more than forty years, Rob Lowe has been one of Hollywood’s most reliable and recognizable faces. From his early breakout in The Outsiders to TV favorites like The West Wing and Parks and Recreation, Lowe has been part of movies, sitcoms, dramas, and everything in between.
In a new interview, the 61-year-old has opened up about his long run in showbiz, his passion projects, and the two classic roles he’s itching to revisit.
Rob Lowe wants to return for St. Elmo’s Fire sequel and The Grinder revival
During an interaction with Parade, Rob Lowe shared that he wants to revisit two of his fan-favorite roles: Billy Hicks from St. Elmo’s Fire (1985) and Dean Sanderson Jr. from The Grinder (2015).
Lowe revealed that he is currently working on a St. Elmo’s Fire sequel script, calling the original film one of the most important projects of his career.
“We’re currently writing the script for a sequel to St. Elmo’s Fire, which was a very important movie for me and a movie that has remained important to people. So that would be fun to see what those characters are like at the age we are now.”
The beloved coming-of-age classic follows a tight-knit group of Georgetown grads figuring out life, love, and ambition in the real world. Lowe said he’s excited by the idea of catching up with Billy and the gang decades later to see how much they are like at the age he is now.
Lowe also admitted he wants to revive The Grinder, the short-lived but fan-favorite Fox comedy where he played a narcissistic TV lawyer convinced his acting chops made him courtroom-ready in real life.
I’d “really like to bring back The Grinder,” he said, describing his character as “pretentious” and “delusional.” Fans couldn’t agree more as they’ve been rallying for years to see the sharp, underrated legal satire get another round.
Outside of Hollywood, Lowe has also been raising awareness about cancer. Inspired by his grandmother, Mim, who beat breast cancer after joining two clinical trials, he is working with Eli Lilly and Company to show how crucial early detection and participation in trials can be.
