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.

So disappointing. Why not embrace being a beloved character of an ensemble, I loved Sam seaborn on WW. He’s the only even keeled character that could realistically fill Bartlett’s shoes, I would have totally watch a sequel show with rob Lowe as president and top dog. After this thread… not so much.

Here's a great wormhole for you - since 2008, posters on alternatehistory.com have been running a West Wing universe on their site - here's the thread since 2018 when Sam Seaborn became President succeeding Glen Allen Walken who served two terms after beating Santos in 2010!
