Robert Hepler Lowe (born March 17, 1964) is an American actor and entertainment host. Following numerous television roles in the early 1980s, he came to prominence as a teen idol and member of the Brat Pack with starring roles in The Outsiders (1983), Class (1983), The Hotel New Hampshire (1984), Oxford Blues (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), About Last Night... (1986), Youngblood (1986), Masquerade (1988), and Bad Influence (1990).
