Rob Lowe is closing one door to open another door. In this case, the other door is Parks & Recreation.

Rumors said, the 46-year-old actor is in talks to join the NBC show. Although there’s no official confirmation from the network, but the show’s co-creator, Mike Schur confirmed the news to Fancast by saying, “It’s a perfect fit.”

Lowe hasn’t been assigned to a role yet, but he will come on board in the second-to-last episode of the season and is slated for “a number of episodes stretching into season three.”

The Virginia-born actor is exiting ABC’s Brothers & Sisters after the current season, amid reports that he had asked out of his contract in order to land more of a leading role elsewhere.

He had previously appeared in notable movies and TV series, such as; Wayne’s World, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and The West Wing. Sure, we’ll be happy to see you in Parks & Recreation too, Rob!
