Robert Hepler “Rob” Lowe (pronounced /’r?b ‘lo?/; born March 17, 1964) is an American actor. Because of a virus during infancy, he is deaf in his right ear (he later played a deaf character in Stephen King’s The Stand). He attended Santa Monica High School, the same high school as fellow actors Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Sean Penn, Chris Penn, and Robert Downey, Jr. Lowe played the role of Sodapop Curtis, the brother of the main character Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell) and Darrel Curtis (Patrick Swayze). Lowe and Estevez reunited in St. Elmo’s Fire, making them the two more prominent actors from the group known as the Brat Pack.
