Hilary Swank Ex-Husband: Who Is Chad Lowe?

Charles Davis Lowe is an American actor and director. He is the younger brother of actor Rob Lowe.

He was born on January 15, 1968, in Dayton, Ohio, United States.

Lowe began his acting career in the 1980s when he appeared in several television films.

He co-starred with Charlie Sheen in the 1984 CBS Television drama Silence of the Heart. In 1988 he co-starred with Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Urich in the made-for-TV film April Morning, which depicted the battle of Lexington in the American Revolutionary War.

He won an Emmy Award for his supporting role in Life Goes On as a young man living with HIV. He has had recurring roles on ER, Melrose Place, and Now and Again.

While filming Quiet Days in Hollywood, Lowe met actress Hilary Swank. They married on September 28, 1997. Later on January 9, 2006, Lowe and Swank announced their separation, and in May 2006, they announced their intention to divorce.

The divorce was finalized on November 1, 2007. Swank infamously forgot to thank Lowe during her acceptance speech after winning her first Academy Award in 2000 (for Boys Don’t Cry). Upon winning her second Oscar in 2005, for Million Dollar Baby, Lowe was the first person she thanked.
