Alright, guys, buckle up! We're about to take a stroll down memory lane and see what the cast of the beloved medical comedy, Scrubs, has been up to since we last saw them in the halls of Sacred Heart Hospital. So, grab your janitorial supplies and let's dive right in! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and scrubs cast then and now.
The OG Squad: J.D. & Turk
Zach Braff - J.D.
Oh, where do we even begin with our beloved Zach Braff? After playing the neurotic yet lovable J.D., Zach has kept busy with both acting and directing. He's appeared in movies like "Garden State," "Wish I Was Here," and even made a comeback to TV in "Alex, Inc." But here's a fun fact, guys: Zach also lent his voice to the animated series "Chowder"! Talk about a range, huh?
Donald Faison - Turk
Our favorite surgeon-dancer, Donald Faison, has been keeping busy too! After Scrubs, Donald popped up in shows like "The Exes" and "Theleveland Show." He also hosted the game show "Wipeout" and even wrote a book - "Nice Guys Finish First: How to Find a Wife or Girlfriend." We're not sure if that's Turk's advice or Donald's, but hey, it's a laugh!
The Ladies of Sacred Heart
Sarah Chalke - Elliot
Remember Elliot, the hilarious and sometimes cringe-worthy intern? Sarah Chalke has kept her comedy chops sharp with roles in "How I Met Your Mother," "Community," and even a stint on "CBC's The Great Canadian Baking Show." She's also a mom now, and we couldn't be happier for her!
Judy Reyes - Carla
Oh, Carla, our no-nonsense nurse. Judy Reyes has been busy since Scrubs, appearing in shows like "Devious Maids," "Claws," and "The Guest Book." She's also been an advocate for mental health awareness, which is amazing to see!
The Docs
John C. McGinley - Dr. Cox
Our favorite sarcastic attending, John C. McGinley, has kept his comedy game strong with roles in "Lethal Weapon" and "Wrong Turn." He's also been a passionate advocate for Down syndrome awareness, having co-founded the Maxine Waters Foundation with his wife.
Ken Jenkins - Dr. Kelso
Ken Jenkins, who played the stern Dr. Kelso, has popped up in shows like "The Last Man on Earth" and "Splitting Up Together." He's also been busy with voice acting, lending his talents to animated shows like "Futurama" and "Harvey Girls Forever!"
The Interns & More
Tara Reid - Danni
Remember Danni, the intern who... well, you know. Tara Reid has been keeping busy with roles in movies like "Sharknado" and "Last Sharknado: It's About Time." We're not sure what to make of that, but hey, it's Tara Reid!
Ellen Pompeo - Meredith
Yes, you read that right! Before she was Meredith Grey on "Grey's Anatomy," Ellen Pompeo played Nurse Molly, J.D.'s love interest in the first season of Scrubs. She's obviously done incredibly well for herself since then, becoming one of the highest-paid actresses on TV.
Neil Flynn - The Janitor
Last but certainly not least, Neil Flynn, who played the mysterious janitor, has been keeping busy with roles in shows like "The Middle" and "The Good Place." He's also been an advocate for mental health awareness, which is amazing to see.
The Reunion
In 2020, the Scrubs cast reunited for a virtual table read to raise money for COVID-19 relief. It was a beautiful reminder of why we fell in love with this show in the first place - the humor, the heart, and the incredible cast.
So, guys, there you have it! The Scrubs cast, then and now. It's been a wild ride, hasn't it? Here's to hoping we get to see more of our favorite Sacred Heart Hospital gang in the future. Until then, keep being awesome!
