Now: Lowe went on to appear in St. Elmo’s Fire in 1985, cementing his place in the “Brat Pack” of young ‘80s actors. But Lowe also became as famous for his mishaps as much as his movies. He was a sex tape scandal pioneer and he did a stint in rehab to battle his addictions to sex and alcohol. Today the actor has largely become a TV star. His seven-year run on the popular The West Wing ended in 2006 and he was recently in the cast of the popular TV series Parks and Recreation.
