Sam Lloyd (1963 - ) is an American actor, perhaps best known for his portrayal of beaten down lawyer Ted Buckland on the Bill Lawrence sitcom Scrubs.

He has appeared on Seinfeld ("The Cigar Store Indian", 1993, and "The Pie", 1994), The West Wing (as a conspiracy theorist adamant about his belief that the White House has information about extra-terrestrial activity), and The Drew Carey Show. He was also a regular on the short-lived sitcom Double Rush, starring Robert Pastorelli.

He recently appeared on Desperate Housewives as an injured psychiatrist who falls victim to a demented suitor of Bree's. Lloyd's character contained a surprising amount of compassion for the perpetrator, despite being on a hospital bed with a broken leg.

Lloyd is the nephew of Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd. They both guested on Malcolm in the Middle, Sam as a housing lawyer and Christopher as Hal's father.

Lloyd is also a singer with the a cappella group The Blanks[1] who have made many appearances in Scrubs under the name "The Worthless Peons" (also known as "Ted's Band"). He also plays the bass in the Beatles tribute group "The Butties" [2].
