Sarah Chalke: Five facts on the Scrubs actress
Age: 34
Hometown: Vancouver
You know her from: Scrubs, where she ruled the OR at Sacred Heart Hospital for four seasons as Elliot Reid, the socially awkward resident physician (and better half to protagonist Zach Braff).
Why she’s hot: Chalke’s latest project is the eagerly anticipated Mad Love, a sitcom about four New York friends, two of whom are falling in love while the other two are happily in hate.
Lingo: “Oops! Sorry — that shouldn’t stain.”
Swear jar: “My favourite swear word is shit-balls.”
Great gizmo: “I will never, ever give up my industrial-grade milk foamer.”
Bad advice: “The worst thing anyone has ever suggested? Get bangs.”
Historical heroine: “Laura Secord — though was she a heroine, or was she just on a chocolate run?”
Meaning of life: “I live for my little guy, Charlie.”
Get this look: Cuff, $770, Liasophia.ca. T-shirt and jeans, her own.
