Created by Sy Rosen,Spencerwas a sitcom that premiered in 1984.
Lowe starred as the titular Spencer Winger, a high school student constantly getting into teenage hijinks.
“It was way, way too much, too quick for me.
I can say that now in hindsight at 52.
At the time, I was not aware of it.”
“And so I walked off that show… “I now recognize how big it was.”
“It was calledSpencerand I played Spencer.
I know there are so many ramifications from that,” he later added.
“I mean, at the time, I’m a kid so I’m selfish and self-centered.
Enough so that I had the courage to leave and to option out of my contract.
After leaving the show, Lowe remembered hearing threats that he’d never work again as an actor.
“That lit the spark again,” he said.
And I said, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.'”
He’s since appeared in films likeUnfaithfulandEntourage, and shows like24andSupergirl.
