Rob Lowe donned a knit cap and a billy goat beard, channeling Brad Pitt for a role as movie star Eddie Nero in an upcoming episode of Californication.

Lowe, who looks eerily similar to the Fight Club star in that costume, appears on the hit Showtime show for a three-episode arc in which he'll play an actor vying for the role of Professor Hank Moody in the film adaptation of his book.

Interesting to note that Brad and Californication star David Duchovny once starred together in the feature film Kalifornia.

We can't wait to see if Rob's acting is as spot on as his look!

Wonder if he tried to snuggle up to Angelina wearing that outfit?
