Longtime Scrubs fans are in for a treat—and so is actor Donald Faison's wallet! Faison reprises his role as Dr. Christopher Turk in ABC's upcoming Scrubs revival, which debuts with back-to-back premiere episodes on Wednesday, February 25 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
For Faison, it's the perfect time to revive the hospital-set comedy—which originally ran for nine seasons between October 2, 2001, to March 17, 2010—"because the fans want it!" the 51-year-old actor told ABC7 Los Angeles. "And we're all ready to do it again too. When 'Scrubs' ended, we all went and did a bunch of different things. But nothing was ever like what it was here, you know what I mean?"
While his return to Sacred Heart Hospital is definitely padding his bank account, Faison's wealth isn't just thanks to playing a surgeon on TV. From roles in iconic films like Clueless and Remember the Titans to his hilarious T-Mobile commercials with Scrubs co-star and real-life BFF Zach Braff, Faison continues to build a seriously impressive financial portfolio.

What is Donald Faison's net worth in 2026?
As of February 2026, Faison has a net worth estimated at $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That sum is the monetary result of Faison's 30+ year acting career as an actor, with much of his wealth generated by the star's leading role as Dr. Chris Turk in the ABC/NBC comedy Scrubs.
Faison has previously gone public with his financial struggles in the early days of his career. As host of PBS's Your Life, Your Money, the actor shared: "When I got my first big movie role, I took that paycheck and bought myself a shiny new Jeep. Man, I loved that car, but by the time the third payment came due, I was out of money and had to hustle to try to hold on to it ... It’s a jungle out there: a financial jungle. And it’s easy to get lost, unless you have the skills to find your way."
