West Wing Star Is The New Colonel Sanders

<div><p>Rob Lowe is no stranger to the lime light. </p><p>Movies, TV shows, and celebrity scandals. He's been a part of them all.</p><p>But now, Lowe is taking his talents to new heights: he's been chosen as the new Colonel Sanders for Kentucky Fried Chicken. </p><p>Lowe will be representing the new Zinger chicken sandwich for KFC, and he has a personal connection as to why he said yes to the project. </p><p>"My grandfather was the head of the Ohio chapter of the National Restaurant Association in the 1960s and took me to meet Col. Harland Sanders when I was a kid," Lowe says. "It was a big deal. I thought this would be a nice homage to both Colonel Sanders and to my grandfather."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/kfc--1-.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/kfc--1-_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/kfc--1-_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/kfc--1-_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>KFC</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>You can check out the commercial here!</p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="7YY4RfeX2Z4"></amp-youtube></div></div></div></div>
