[edit] LORIDA

[edit] Martin Sheen - guest star?

Is this true? That Martin Sheen was only supposed to be a guest star? Is there a source for this? --Rebroad 19:25, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes, If you refer to the season 1 DVD commentary Sorkin discusses how Martin was only supposed to appear occasionally. I believe, if I can remember correctly, Sheen was only supposed to appear every month or so. It is titled the West Wing for a reason.

Well I'm glad they didn't do it that way, as the show wouldn't have been as good. Anyhow, I think this source is good enough to leave this part in the article. (Bjorn Tipling 05:30, 5 November 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Sex video

There are contradictions in:

Lowe gained notoriety in 1988 after a video of him having sex with two women, one of whom was underage, became public. He had met the women at a bar while in Atlanta attending the 1988 Democratic National Convention, and later claimed that he didn't know one was underage, and that it was reasonable to assume that someone in a bar was of legal age. The video that was widely circulated was not the one with the underage girl and her lesbian hairdresser girlfriend but that of a threesome with a model called "Jennifer", a young friend called "Justin Morris" and the actor himself. The home video was shot in a hotel room in Paris. Lowe was sentenced to twenty hours of community service.

Please will someone familiar with the facts in these two cases untangle them? Thank you.. Andy Mabbett 22:24, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

American "scandals". I can't understand where is the scandal. Americans seem to consider "sex" for itself as a kind of scandal, probably because of the bad influence of those strange medieval groups living in the past known all over the world. Lowe made sex with two girls? Lowe made sex with a model and an other guy? Lucky man! Val from Europe

[edit] Blind in left eye

I did some Googling to verify the fact that he is blind in his left eye, and couldn't find anything. I'm deleting it, but please put it back if anyone knows it is true.

[edit] Final West Wing episodes?

Under the West Wing role subhead, the article states that Lowe "did however, return to the series for the final 5 episodes." Under the acting career subhead, it says that "Lowe returned to his role of Sam Seaborn, appearing in two of the final four episodes of the show." Which is it?

He only appeared in two episodes. I think the reason for the confusion is that, initially, when press releases came out they just said "these actors will appear in some of the final 5 episodes" without specifying, and character appearances were kept secret until the episodes aired. But he only appeared in two: the last one, and one a few episodes before that.

[edit] Dr. Vegas?

I see no mention to the Dr. Vegas TV series, could someone check and add that? (JUL).

He was in Family Guy if that's appropriate!

[edit] Personal life

I edited the section about the housing controversy as it seemed a little partisan. -- Autumninjersey (talk) 11:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

What are the names of his two step-siblings? CIPU1234 (talk) 22:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oscars

Why is there no mention of his dance number on the Academy Awards when he did some "racey" moves with a Snow White actress? Disney wasn't too happy. There should be a mention. Kwyjibear (talk) 23:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
