He played the roles of Stosh "Piz" Piznarski in the CW noir drama Veronica Mars, William "Dell" Parker in the ABC Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, Jeremy Graves on the Epix series Graves, and Bash on the Netflix series GLOW.

Personal life

Lowell was born in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] He attended the Atlanta International School, where he became interested in theatre and filmmaking.[1] He attended the University of Southern California, where he was discovered in his first year while playing beach volleyball.[1]

Career

Discovered in 2003 after going through his first major audition, Lowell landed the role of Jonathan Fields on the ABC teen drama Life As We Know It.[1] The series was cancelled after 13 episodes.[2]

In 2006, Lowell had lead roles in the coming-of-age film Graduation and also in a small film entitled You Are Here.

After the end of Life As We Know It, Lowell was cast as Stosh "Piz" Piznarski in the third season of Veronica Mars, opposite Kristen Bell and Jason Dohring.

In 2009 Chris Lowell appeared in several videos by the sketch comedy group BriTANicK, including "Pillow Talk", and "The Morning After."

From 2007 until 2010, Lowell appeared in the ABC drama Private Practice, alongside Kate Walsh, Audra McDonald, and Tim Daly, playing Dell, the receptionist for the Oceanside Wellness Group who is also a qualified nurse, midwife-in-training, and young father to six-year-old daughter Betsy. Lowell exited Private Practice in the show's third-season finale when Dell died from heart failure, a complication during brain surgery after a vehicle accident.

In 2011, Lowell played the role of Stuart Whitworth in the film The Help, an adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel of the same name. The following year, filming began on Lowell's directorial debut, Beside Still Waters.[3] Set in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the film tells the story of a man redefining his outlook on life after the death of his parents.[4]

Lowell also played Derrick on Fox's 2014 comedy, Enlisted.
