ACTOR BIO

We grew up watching her portray Rosanne Barr’s blonde TV daughter Becky Connor on ABC. But now she’s all grown up and starring on our favorite medical sitcom, Scrubs.

Sarah Chalke stars as Dr. Elliot Reid on the critically acclaimed comedy series, Scrubs. Chalke's Reid is an overly ambitious doctor serving her residence at the hospital, sharing hilarious encounters and poignant moments with the unpredictable staffers and insane patients who surround her.

A native of Ottawa, Canada, Chalke was raised in Vancouver and began appearing in local musical theatre productions when she was eight. A few years later she became an environmental reporter for the Canadian series Kid Zone. Her big break came in 1993 when she was cast as Becky Conner on the series Roseanne. She starred in the Lifetime original movie Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy.

The Scrubs actress starred in the Warner Independent feature film Chaos Theory alongside Ryan Reynolds and Emily Mortimer as well as the comedy Mama's Boy opposite Diane Keaton, Jeff Daniels and Jon Heder.

Chalke's theatrical credits include starring roles in the New York off-Broadway production of Modern Orthodox and the drama Create Fate in Williamstown.

In her free time, Chalke enjoys cooking with friends, playing the guitar, hiking, snowboarding, and skiing (she is an instructor). She also speaks French and German fluently and volunteers at a hospice for terminally ill children.
