Samuel Lloyd, Jr. (born November 12, 1963) is an American actor and musician, perhaps best known for his portrayal of beaten down lawyer Ted Buckland on the American comedy-drama "Scrubs".

He has appeared on "Seinfeld" ("The Cigar Store Indian", 1993, and "The Pie", 1994), "The West Wing" (as a conspiracy theorist adamant about his belief that the White House has information about extraterrestrial activity), 3rd Rock from the Sun ("Jailhouse Dick", 1997, and "My Daddy's Little Girl", 1998), "Mad About You" ("Citizen Buchman", 1997, and "The Touching Game", 1997), and "The Drew Carey Show" ("Batmobile", 1997). He had a guest role on Bill Lawrence's sitcom "Spin City" as a city hall bureaucrat, similar to his role as Ted Buckland in "Scrubs". He was also a regular on the short-lived sitcom "Double Rush", starring Robert Pastorelli. He has a recurring role on "Desperate Housewives" as Bree and Rex's psychiatrist, who recently falls victim to a demented suitor of Bree's. Lloyd's character showed a surprising amount of compassion for the perpetrator, despite being on a hospital bed with a broken leg.

Lloyd is the nephew of "Back to the Future" star Christopher Lloyd and the son of actor Sam Lloyd, Sr. [ [http://www.filmreference.com/film/80/Sam-Lloyd.html Sam Lloyd Biography ((?)-) ] ] He and Christopher Lloyd both guested on "Malcolm in the Middle", Sam as a housing lawyer and Christopher as Hal's father.
