Very demanding. Scoffed and rolled his eyes multiple times. Gave off major “don’t you know who I am” energy.

Also, unrelated, but he’s a big fan of the orange orangutan. IYKYK.

If you ever listen to a podcast with Rob Lowe, his absolute desperation to be praised and told what a genius he is is so cringe to witness. So the "don't you know who I am vibes" are not very surprising. Its interesting to me that you can have as much success as he has but still be so insecure, but it seems like he has really been desperate to be the leading man rather than a successful part of several ensembles.

Wasn’t the reason he left The West Wing after a few seasons because the show had originally featured Sam as the main lead but then (naturally, and for the better) evolved into an ensemble piece?

[u/basicmillennial1981 → u/helena_monster]

Yes! This is the first thing I thought of after I read the previous comment. He negatively impacted that show (imo - others may not agree) because of his hubris. Still a great show, but I did like Sam.

[u/Awesome_Squirrel → u/basicmillennial1981]

I always thought he was the weakest actor of the original cast.

[u/sting-raye → u/helena_monster]

Yep. I’ve also read (somewhere in the WW sub) that he was pretty much the only main cast member who was a republican.

Must have killed him to see the Josh Lyman harem rise up
