Anyone who has seen an episode of
Scrubs knows
Rob Maschio as
The Todd: The hospital's banana hammock wearing, high five giving, sexually ambiguous, wildly horny surgeon. Let's take a minute to learn a little bit more about America's most lovable chauvinist pig.
How many high fives do you give out every day, on average?Not a day goes by where someone (a dude) will approach me and ask for a high five. It's fun , I get a kick out of it. Now I know I didn't invent the high five, but the funny aspect of the Todd's High Fives are that he names them - the miracle five, mental five, sterile five, betrayal five, I miss you five, self five, air five, make it stop five, euphemism five, and the list goes on and on. That's fun for me to be in a scene and think what type of high five I might be able to give. During the episode where the todd was acting gay
(episode 5.20 My Lunch) I had a bunch of gay five improvs up my sleeve that didn't make it into the episode. Hot Gay sex five, Man on man five, reach around five, in your ass five...naturally these were way to dirty for TV, but the crew seemed to like them.
Who is responsible for adding the finger snap, post-high five? That's all me my friend, I was looking to put my personal touch on it, and it's great for timing and buttoning or punching a comedic moment.
Scrubs gets crazy famous guest stars all the time, who was your favorite to work with?Michael J. Fox, Dick Van Dyke, and Heather Graham were among my favorite guest stars. Michael J. Fox and Dick Van Dyke because they're TV royalty and I have so much respect for them and Heather Graham because I wanted her very badly and couldn't have made it more clear. Alas... She was also really good on the show - she played a quirky, absent minded, free spirited doctor and I think it's because she's so hot that people don't see what a good job she did on the show. I offered to high five her, to low five her, to side five her, and she wouldn't have it. Nevertheless I am still a big fan of hers.
