Rob Lowe shares the secret to how the Parks and Recreation cast stays connected
He still cherishes the magical day on set with fond memories.
“I could hear them laughing and there’s nothing in life more satisfying than making someone you respect as a comedian laugh,” he shared. “To get Amy to laugh, to get Nick to laugh was the ultimate joy. That’s why doing that show never felt like work, ever. It felt like we got together, hung out, made each other laugh and went home and then got to watch it on TV.”
Rob has carried that same mentality into his latest project, starring alongside his son John Owen Lowe in Netflix’s Unstable—where they portray father and son, as well as co-creators of the series.
Recently discovering his “off-the-charts” competitiveness through an Ancestry DNA test, Rob realizes he shares some qualities with his biotech genius character, Ellis. This competitive spirit will be showcased in a tennis match episode written by John Owen for the show’s upcoming second season.
“I would say almost everything in it is either a literal recreation,” Rob hinted. “Or takes a little germ of something that he thinks happened and then he’s blown it sky high.”
The second season of Unstable will be available on Netflix starting August 1.
In the meantime, read on to find out where Rob’s character—and others—ended up at the conclusion of Parks and Recreation.
