John McGinley talks about his Dead Head Fred role

Getting into the role of Fred from Dead Head Fred was easy for Scrubs actor John McGinley. "This guy was unique because, well … his head was gone! With him, you could really just open up your imagination and roll out a cavalcade of eccentricities and see what makes sense to you. It was pretty much unlike anything I’ve ever done before." Indeed, not having a head certainly makes for a unique character to get into.
