Lowell looks at The Help

Chris Lowell is in the middle of talks to be part of the cast for the novel turned feature The Help. The story, based off the book by Kathryn Stockett, explores how the unspoken code of behavior governing Southern households is shattered when an aspiring writer interviews a maid, who speaks candidly about her experiences. The interview sets off shock waves that reverberate across the entire community. Those that are already part of the cast include Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Bryce Dallas Howard.

If cast, Lowell will take on the role of Skeeter’s (Emma Stone) boyfriend, Stuart Whitworth, a senator’s son who eventually breaks up with her because of the book (THR). This will be Tate Taylor’s feature film directorial debut with Michael Barnathan, Chris Columbus and Mark Radcliffe producing under 1492 Pictures. Principal photography is set to commence this summer in Mississippi.

Lowell currently takes on the role of William ‘Dell’ Parker in the popular television series Private Practice.
