“Parks and Recreation” actor Rob Lowe portrays the 35th U.S. president in National Geographic’s TV movie “Killing Kennedy,” based on the book by Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly. The movie, directed by Nelson McCormick (“Touch”), premieres in November, in time for the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination.
“A lot of people will play JFK in the future,” 49-year-old Lowe said during the Television Critics Assn. press tour this summer. “He is one of the great American icons. You just try to figure what you can individually bring. For me, it was very much about capturing him as a man ... what he was like as a father, a brother, a son, as a husband.” (Kent Eanes / National Geographic)
