Sam Lloyd, the nephew of Christopher Lloyd, will forever be remembered for his fantastic portrayal of sad-sack lawyer Ted Buckland on hit sitcom Scrubs.

However, he also carved out a comprehensive career as a character actor, with roles on shows such as Desperate Housewives, Seinfeld, Modern Family, The West Wing, Cougar Town, Malcolm in the Middle, and Shameless, not to mention occasional film appearances in the likes of Flubber and Galaxy Quest.

Lloyd was additionally a talented singer, his a capella group The Blanks appearing periodically on Scrubs to showcase their skills.

Lloyd died from complications of lung cancer on April 30 at the age of 56, barely a year after his wife Vanessa gave birth to their son.
