I love Scrubs - the only must-see new show for me besides Enterprise. My favoriate character is Perry Cox played by John McGinley. He’s so familiar to me and I’ve been trying to figure out what else he’s been in. Any ideas?

His most prominent role before **Scrubs** was probably in **Office Space**.

Didn’t see Office Space, nor most of the other movies and tv shows listed; don’t recall any of his characters, but oh well, he rings a bell anyway. His Perry Cox seems to have mellowed out a bit since the first few Scrubs…I liked him better when he was a bit manic. Thanks for the info.
