Donald Faison began acting on stage at age 5 but didn't appear in his first movie,
Juice, until his late teens. After a succession of small film parts, he made a big impression in the comedy
Clueless and reprised his role on the spin-off TV series. Although Faison enjoyed high-profile stints on
Sabrina the Teenage Witch and
Felicity, he didn't become a star until he landed the role of a cocky doctor on the wacky sitcom
Scrubs.
