Rob Lowe on Dog Gone, Working with the Daniel Day-Lewis of Dogs & Tommy Boy
20In Netflix’s Dog Gone, actor, producer, and podcast host Rob Lowe plays John Marshall, a father who finds himself on an “epic quest” when his family dog turns up missing. Inspired by a true story, Dog Gone tells the heartwarming and miraculous tale of a father and his son who begin a journey across the Appalachian trail in search of Gonker, the family dog.
Along the way, they begin to mend their tense relationship, sharing a hope that they’ll be able to track their lost dog down, against all odds. When their story gets picked up by a local columnist, and eventually goes international, their determination touches those around them, inspiring others to aid their mission to bring Gonker home. Dog Gone also stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Johnny Berchtold, Susan Gallagher, and Al Mitchell.
With this family-friendly adventure now available to stream on Netflix, Collider’s Steve Weintraub was able to speak with Lowe about the movie. During his interview, Lowe discusses what drew him to the script for Dog Gone, how difficult it is to hit the “bullseye” on feel-good movies, and what it was like working with the Daniel Day-Lewis of dogs. He also talks about his podcast Literally!, why Saturday Night Live is important to his career, how streaming has affected movies and television, Tommy Boy, and which of his roles was the hardest to let go.
