He can really get into some of the characters he plays. A couple of times I didn't even recognize him.

Re: Hi, I'm Rob Lowe, and I have Direct tv.....

I like the creativity and variety; it's better than watching the exact same commercial over and over. At least they are all tongue in cheek and not stupidly written as many other commercials. How about "Shoe Fetish Rob Lowe" ( we'll get to see a lot of pretty shoes!) or a "Christian Grey SM Rob Lowe" ( tame, not too risqué for TV, more silly than anything real)?

I forgot about that. I agree he was good in that.

I like the commercials. I like how he can poke fun at himself.

Re: Hi, I'm Rob Lowe, and I have Direct tv.....

I'm thinking it was Charlie's brother, Emilio Estevez, who was one of the brat pack, but I could be wrong.

I also loved him in 'Behind The Candelabra'. He is so awesome at playing super creepy characters!

I rather like the commercials. I also agree that it's nice he can poke fun at himself like this. They are definitely kind of creepy but they are somewhat humorous.

He played a couple of other real people in some Lifetime movies and was pretty good! That Peterson guy (cop and wife-killer in Illinois) movie was very good with him as the lead character. (sorry I forgot which Peterson it was - there were three different ones and I get the first names mixed up)

Re: Hi, I'm Rob Lowe, and I have Direct tv.....

I like him too. I think he is a good actor and respect him for turning his life around. But when those commercials come on , I can't change the channel fast enough. Doesn't he have enough money without doing silly, creepy, dumb commercials?
