John Dorian 'JD'
played by Zach Braff
 |
John
"J.D." Dorian |
 |
| Since finishing medical school with his best friend (Turk), J.D. is determined
to make a difference, one patient at a time. J.D.'s distractions include hooking up with Elliot, sucking up to Dr. Cox and
running from a demented janitor. J.D.'s biggest distraction, however, is generally his over-active imagination, which tends
to visualize worst-case scenarios of the funniest kind. |
Zach
Braff
as
John "J.D." Dorian |
|
| Zach Braff stars as fresh-faced medical resident John “J.D.”
Dorian, who is embarking on his career at a hospital full of unpredictable staffers and patients. “This is a dream role
for me,” says Braff of his alter-ego. “As an actor you’re always struggling to convey everything that’s
going on in the character’s mind, but, as J.D., the audience is privy to all of my thoughts and neuroses. There’s
just so much room to grow in a role like this.” |

Elliot Reid |
|
|
|
Being one of the only female interns, Elliot has learned how to be "one of the guys." She puts
up with Kelso's sexist "sweethearts" and Dr. Cox's tirades. Ultimately though, Elliot has a soft spot for patients (and also,
J.D.) which keeps her motivated through long hours, grueling schedules and many unexpected developments.

Sarah
Chalke
as Elliot Reid |
|
|
|
Sarah Chalke, one of the brightest and engaging acting talents to emerge in recent years, returns
to her television roots to portray Elliot Reid, a sexy, over-ambitious doctor serving her residence at the hospital, sharing
hilarious encounters, as well as poignant moments, with the unpredictable staffers and insane patients who surround her. “She
is sarcastic and fun, competitive and driven, but also has a lot of insecurities and is a bit of a clutz,” she says.
“Although she tries to keep up a touch façade, she’s really just nervous about being a good doctor.”

Chris
Turk |
|
| Turk may be a surgical intern, but his many talents also include a flair
for Michael Jackson impersonations. He's a little cocky since he's always been the "big man on campus," but his new life-or-death
reality may humble him a bit. Romantically involved with Nurse Carla, Turk tries to balance his tough schedule with his relationship
- and find time for his best friend, J.D. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. | |
Donald
Faison
as
Chris Turk |
|
| A New York City Native, Faison began his acting career as an enthusiastic
five year old attending the Children’s School of Intuitive and God-Conscious Art. His passion and talent led him to
study theatre at the Professional Children’s School. |

 |
Nurse
Carla Espinosa |
|
|
Despite Carla's tough exterior, she's actually very kindhearted. She's even managed to bond with Dr. Kelso
- a feat deemed impossible by other staffers. Currently dating Turk, Carla also has a fondness for Dr. Cox, but is unaware
that his feelings are much stronger for her than friendship.

Judy
Reyes
as
Nurse Carla Espinosa |
|
| Judy Reyes portrays no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa on NBC's comedy series
"Scrubs." "I really admire Carla - she's smart and sassy and a very good nurse," says Reyes. "I like that she remains confident
and unapologetic in a world where nurses don't receive the same respect as doctors." |
