Rob Lowe Not Credited?

Just saw an interview with Rob Lowe where he mentions he was not credited in this film and sure enough he wasn't. His name appears nowhere on the official credits despite being an integral character with notable screen time and a national celebrity at the time. Does anyone have any explanation for this?

Rob Lowe played the supporting role of Tommy's stepbrother and is uncredited. The reason for this is because Rob was contractually obligated to Stephen King's The Stand (1994) at the time, so he took the part simply as a favor for friend Chris Farley.
