Sam Lloyd is an American singer and actor. He has been into the entertainment industry since 1988. He is the nephew of the more famous actor Christopher Lloyd whose fame boosted with his participation on the “Back to the Future” saga. His most remarkable acting jobs are “Flubber” and the TV series “Scrubs”. Samuel Lloyd was born in Weston, Vermont on November 12, 1963. His parents worked at the theater Weston Playhouse, and this inspired him to become an actor himself; but theater was not his thing. A Super 8 camera belonging to his father was his first attempt on the movies world. He attended Syracuse University in New York. In there he met Paul and George with whom he would form the cappella group “The Blanks” later on. During this time he also got involved into “The Butties” project.
To pursuit his acting career, he moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Syracuse. There he first acted with an improvisation group, having his first appearance on a TV series in 1988 at the “Night Court” playing a side role as a waiter and a balloon salesman on 2 different chapters.
Acting
1990 was the beginning of a good year for Sam. He made it as a regular character on the TV series “City” playing Lance Armstrong. This was just the beginning of a long resume on TV mostly. According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) he holds 64 credits as an actor, some of them recurrent roles on TV series.
His most famous starring role was playing a lawyer named Ted Buckland, on the TV series “Scrubs” between 2001 and 2009. Other well-known characters on TV are his appearance as Barkley in “Double Rush” back in 1995; playing cousin David in “Mad About You”; Eddie in “3rd Rock from the Sun”; Roy Giddeon in “Battery Park”; a U.S. Space Command named Bob Engler in “The West Wing”; and Dr. Albert Goldfine on “Desperate Housewives”.
He has many appearances on movies, but his most recognized acting roles were on “Galaxy Quest” in 1999 and “Flubber” in 1997. His net worth is unknown, but no doubt it comes mostly from his acting career on TV.
Music
He is not only an actor. Sam has made his way as a musician too. He has 2 ongoing musical projects.
The first one is a cappella group called “The Blanks”. They are best known as “Ted’s Band” for their appearances on the series “Scrubs” where they play a band actually called “The Worthless Peons”.
“The Blanks” are formed by a quartet of friends who also perform sketch comedy on-stage. They sing to entertain and perform to see people laugh. Other Blanks are Philip McNiven, George Miserlis and Paul F. Perry. Their latest single was released on June, 2013 and is called “Take on me”.
