Rob Lowe Submits Himself To Emmys As Lead Actor Contender For Parks & Recreation

Lead actor, eh? Inneresting…

Despite the fact that Rob Lowe’s role on NBC’s Parks & Recreation could EASILY be construed as a supporting role, the actor has submitted himself in the lead comedy actor category for the Emmys.

Here’s what a Parks & Rec rep had to say about Rob’s decision:

“[He] decided on his own to enter in the lead category – not NBC. We don’t normally decide these things anyway├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ they do on their own.”

Potential actors that Rob COULD go up against include 30 Rock’s Alec Baldwin, The Office’s Steve Carell, Glee’s Matthew Morrison, and The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons.

Guess we’ll see if this strategic move on Rob’s part works out…

What do U think about Rob Lowe’s self-submission? Is he making a smart move?
