'Scrubs' star Michael James Scott teases "a lot of fun" coming for his character

Scott is best known for his performance as Genie in Aladdin on Broadway

Michael James Scott is best known for his role as the Genie in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway. But he says getting the role as the scene-stealing Nurse Dubois on "Scrubs" has been a wish come true.

"I can't tell you the honor it has been to be part of that whole family," Scott told On The Red Carpet's George Pennacchio. "To be in the same room and be on the set with Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison and Judy Reyes and John McGinley, I mean literally, it's just like crazy."

"They've really let me be me and bring my ridiculousness to it, but within the world of 'Scrubs' and that has been such a cool dance to figure out and really like, honor because it's such a legacy that they already had built," Scott added.

Many of Scott's scenes are with X Mayo, who plays Nurse Raymond. And he said their connection was instant!

"Most people thought we knew each other beforehand when they paired us together. But we did not know each other and we just clicked. And there was this incredible chemistry that just came together and it was really like magic," said Scott.

And he promises more magic ahead for his character.

"There's a lot of fun happening with Nurse Dubois coming on up in there. This season is so great," said Scott. "They have upped it. They just keep like up, up, up, up. The fantasy sequences, the storylines, I mean the writing is so delicious on so many levels and so funny and full of heart."

Watch "Scrubs" Wednesdays at 8pm EST/7pm CST on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
