Hail To The Chief…And The ‘Sheriff’

Here is yours truly with Rob Lowe in the “Oval Office”. In a break between scenes, I got a chance to meet Rob in a most unexpected way. I had rented several 1960s era TV cameras to the production as props (you can see them in the post just below this one), and after the scene with Rob was finished, I was talking kind of loud to the helpers moving the cameras, and THEN…

I heard an unmistakable voice say “I hear the voice of the SHEIFF from SQUIDBILLIES! Where are you?” I turned around and sure enough…it was Rob Lowe asking!

“How do you know my voice?” I asked and he said, “I’ve got a son that is 20 and another that is 21 and they watch it all the time and now, so do I!”

How about that! I don’t know who was more pleased to meet…him or me! I’ve always admired his ability and, just from the part’s I’ve seen, he makes a very believable JFK. I thought he was great in ‘West Wing’ and all of the Mike Meyers ‘Austin Powers’ movies and ‘Wayne’s World’.
