On the medical comedy, Chalk plays Dr. Elliot Reid, who may seem as just another pretty face with her blonde hair and sultry eyes, but underneath the bombshell exterior lays the aggressive and competitive spirit of a medical intern.

"When I first opened the script and read the pilot, I was laughing out loud. I just hadn't seen anything on the air like it and I wanted to be a part of it" - on "Scrubs" (2001).

"Before getting "Scrubs" (2001), I had always threatened myself I'd have to become a dental hygienist if I quit acting - to me, that would be the hardest job. I would tell myself, 'Just stick it out for a little longer'. It definitely was a turning point" - about how "Scrubs" (2001) changed her life.
