Rob Lowe to Guest Star on Californication

The loss of Brothers & Sisters is the gain of Parks and Recreation and, now, Californication.

Rob Lowe, who is leaving the former ABC series at the end of this season, has already signed on for a recurring role next season on the NBC sitcom.

It was announced today, meanwhile, that the actor would also appear on season four of the Showtime hit. Lowe will portray Eddie Nero, an imbalanced yet charismatic and famous movie star who finds himself vying for the role of Hank Moody in the film version of Moody's hit book.

The former West Wing star will show up for at least one episode of Californication.
