Harold Lowe

Officer Harold Lowe is a supporting character in the 1997 romantic/disaster film Titanic by James Cameron.
He was portrayed by Ioan Gruffud who also played Mr. Fantastic in the 2000 films Fantastic Four and Kevin in 102 Dalmatians.
==Personality==
In the film, Officer Harold Lowe is a serious man and invested in his work. During the sinking of the ship, Lowe and the other officers undertake to evacuate all the passengers. Although determined to save as many people as possible, Lowe is seen losing his temper, along with several other officers, and he fires warning shots to keep order. After the Titanic sank, several lifeboats were in the vicinity and only that of the officer Lowe returned to recover survivors. He searched tirelessly among the corpses and rescued Rose who held out as long as possible.
==History==
Officer Lowe appears briefly at the beginning of the film when the Titanic leaves Southampton and he gives Captain Smith a cup of tea.
Although absent during the first half of the film, he reappears during the sinking of the ship and plays a major role in the event. With Officer Lightoller, we see him controlling the crowd of passengers and he is in charge of lowering the boats. Then we see him aboard one of them as the boat is lowered by the crew. As the passengers panic, Lowe yells for them to calm down and gives several warning shots to maintain order. Later, the entire ship sank and Lowe survives on the lifeboat he is in charge of. In the middle of the ocean, he hears the castaways in distress and organizes the composition of the lifeboats to make room for those they will recover.
A few minutes later, the majority of the castaways are dead, to the great shock of Lowe who does not lose hope and continues to search for living people. As the lifeboat pulls away, Rose uses the late Wilde's whistle and catches Lowe's attention who yells to turn around to take her on board. At dawn, we see Officer Lowe waving distress flares to signal his position to the RMS Carpathia. He is not seen or mentioned again after this.
