‘Scrubs’ co-star Lloyd dead at 56

Character actor Sam Lloyd, who played recurring character Ted Buckland on the sitcom “Scrubs,” has died at the age of 56. A representative for Lloyd, who had been diagnosed with a brain tumour caused by lung cancer in 2019, confirmed his death to Entertainment Weekly on Friday. The nephew of “Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd appeared in more than 60 films and TV series during his three-decade career, including “Seinfeld,” “Modern Family” and “The Middle,” according to IMDb. But it was his role as the sheepish attorney on “Scrubs,” on which he made 95 appearances, that made him famous.

“Thinking a lot about Sam Lloyd today,” wrote “Scrubs” creator Bill Lawrence on Twitter. “Truly such a kind, sweet guy. He will be missed by so many.”
