Donald Faison is an American actor best known for his role as Dr. Christopher Turk in the medical comedy-drama “Scrubs” (2001-2010). Born in New York City, he began acting as a teenager and gained early recognition in the film “Clueless” (1995) playing Murray, followed by his role in the TV series adaptation.

The chemistry between Faison and Braff extended off-screen, where they remain best friends and even lived next door to each other at one point.
After “Scrubs,” Faison continued working in television with roles in “The Exes,” “Emergence,” and voice work in “The Clone Wars” as Hype Fazon. In 2020, he and Braff launched the successful podcast “Fake Doctors, Real Friends,” rewatching “Scrubs” episodes and sharing behind-the-scenes stories with millions of listeners.
