Sam Lloyd has died at age 56.

Actor Sam Lloyd, who played lawyer Ted Buckland on the TV series Scrubs, has died. He was 56.

According to TMZ, Lloyd was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in January 2019. Just a few weeks prior, he and his wife Vanessa had welcomed their first child, Weston.

In a statement, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence shared, “Thinking a lot about Sam Lloyd today. (Ted). Truly such a kind, sweet guy. He will be missed by so many.”

Over the course of his career, Lloyd appeared in a number of projects, including American Housewives, Modern Family, Dr. Ken, and Shameless. He also played Dr. Albert Goldfine in Desperate Housewives from 2004 to 2005.

A number of friends and fellow actors have fled to social media to pay tribute to the actor.

On Friday afternoon, Zach Braff wrote, “Rest In Peace to one of the funniest actors I’ve ever had the joy of working with. Sam Lloyd made me crack up and break character every single time we did a scene together. He could not have been a kinder man. I will forever cherish the time I had with you, Sammy.”


‘Scrubs’ Producer Tim Hobert Organized a GoFundMe for Lloyd Last Year

In February 2019, Scrubs producer Tim Hobert helped organize a fundraiser to help raise money for Lloyd’s medical costs.

In the page’s description, Hobert wrote that midway through January 2019, Sam started experiencing headaches and began to lose weight, as well. When he visited the doctor on January 17, he had a CT scan that revealed a mass on his brain.

“Within a day, he was in brain surgery. Unfortunately, the tumor was too intertwined so the surgeons couldn’t remove it. By Sunday, Sam and Vanessa were informed that the cancer in his brain had metastasized from his lungs. Further scans showed the cancer was also in his liver, spine, and jaw.”

The description continues by describing Sam as a “sweet, kind, and generous soul” who “blessed” people’s lives.

Over the past year, the GoFundMe raised $159,150.
