Bill Lawrence is the creator and executive producer of the hit comedy series, “Scrubs,” which was named a “Future Classic” by the TV Land cable network, won a Humanitas Award, an Imagen Award, and was a nominee for a People’s Choice Award, all in its first season.

Lawrence has also directed many of the episodes including, “My Intern’s Eyes,” “My Transition,” and “My Rite of Passage.” Additionally, “Scrubs” was nominated for an Outstanding Comedy Emmy in both 2005 and 2006.

A native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, Lawrence studied creative writing at the College of William and Mary and dreamed of writing the great American novel (no such luck so far.) After he graduated, a family friend, television writer Norman Barasch, advised him to write for television, so he moved to Los Angeles and began penning scripts. After several months, he was signed by the managers of Jerry Seinfeld and his career began to take off.

Lawrence wrote his first television script at the age of 22 for the comedy series “Billy,” starring Billy Connolly. His writing career began to skyrocket when he became a staff writer on NBC’s “Friends” during its first season, penning the Valentine’s Day episode. By age 26 he had teamed with Gary David Goldberg (“Family Ties”) to co-create “Spin City,” Michael J. Fox’s return to network television. Lawrence continued to work on the series as a writer and producer, and became executive producer in the 1998-99 season. He also returned to the series in 2001 to write Fox’s farewell episode, which garnered the actor an Emmy Award later that year.

In addition to “Scrubs,” Bill was the executive producer and co-creator of the animated series “Clone High” as well as the online sensation “Nobody’s Watching.”

Lawrence currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Christa Miller ("The Drew Carey Show," "Scrubs"), their daughter, Charlotte, sons William and Henry, and dogs Gus, Mike and Apple (his daughter named Apple, so no jokes please).
