Biography

Career

Before his debut on Scrubs, Faison became famous for his role as Murray Lawrence Duvall in Clueless, the 1995 movie and the subsequent television series, which ran from 1996 to 1999. In 1995, he appeared in Waiting to Exhale as Tarik, the son of Loretta Devine's character, Gloria. He was also featured in the 1995 movie New Jersey Drive. He had a recurring role as Tracy on Felicity, appeared in Remember the Titans as the ambitious running back Petey, and provided voice work for various characters in the MTV animated series Clone High. He had minor roles in the sitcoms Sister Sister and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and in the film Josie and the Pussycats.

In 2005, Faison produced one episode of MTV's Punk'd involving his Scrubs co-star Zach Braff. He has also appeared in the music videos for Fall Out Boy's cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It", and Gavin Degraw's "Chariot".

In the Robot Chicken : Star Wars Special DVD Commentary (Cast 2), Faison admitted that he wanted to learn how to animate. The crew of Robot Chicken said they would help in any way, but Faison said he couldn't do it because they were too far away and he was busy with Scrubs.
