Naturally, Rob has brought that mentality to his latest venture, as he stars alongside his son John Owen Lowe on Netflix unstable—where the duo, who also co-created the series, play father and son.
However, as Rob recently learned through an Ancestry DNA test that proved his “off the charts” competitiveness, he's not so different from his biotech genius character Ellis. In fact, he revealed that he and John Owen will be able to show off their competitive spirit in a tennis match episode that John Owen wrote for the show's second season.

The second season of unstable comes to Netflix on August 1st.
