Rob Lowe has signed on to star in an upcoming Lifetime Original Movie, with the working title "Prosecuting Casey Anthony," as Florida prosecutor Jeff Ashton.

The movie will follow the highly controversial murder trial of Caylee Anthony and is based on Ashton's best-selling book, "Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony."

Rob Lowe released his autobiography, "Stories I Only Tell My Friends" this week, where he wrote candidly about his love of acting, his infamous 1988 sex tape scandal, alcoholism and his many relations leading up to his happy 20-year marriage.

"In most other areas of my life, I am slightly behind the curve, retiring, sometimes unsure," he wrote in his autobiography. "But when it comes to anything to do with dreams of being an actor I am filled with what I would later learn is called chutzpah."
