For the first time in his decades-long career, Chad Lowe will appear on-screen alongside his brother, Rob Lowe. The 54-year-old will guest star in Monday’s episode of "9-1-1: Lone Star" in which firefighter Capt. Owen Strand [Rob] returns to Los Angeles and is faced with "painful childhood memories." Robert Pine, star of ‘70s cop show "CHiPs" and father of actor Chris Pine, will play their dad.
Lowe previously directed two episodes of the FOX drama, which has a close connection to his family. Lowe’s nephew, John Owen Lowe, is also a writer for the series. Lowe spoke to Fox News Digital about what compelled him to finally appear on-screen, what it was like growing up with Rob, 58, and what has kept the family grounded in Hollywood.

You previously directed two episodes of "9-1-1: Lone Star." What compelled you to guest star now? I got a phone call from the writer and one of the creators, Tim Minear.
I expected the phone call was going to be about an episode I was going to direct. But he goes, "Hey, this is not about directing. Are you interested in acting?" I said, "I’m always interested – yes." And he goes, "OK, I’ve got something for you." I am such a fan of Tim’s work and admire him so much that I said "yes" before I even knew what exactly he was proposing.
Then he said, "You’re going to play Rob’s brother." It was great. And then I realized this is the first time Rob and I will get to be in anything together. First time we’ve ever acted together.
