Judy Reyes coming on the show Tuesday!

We're going to talk with Judy Reyes of Scrubs this Tuesday!

Judy Reyes portrays no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa on NBC's comedy series "Scrubs." "I really admire Carla - she's smart and sassy and a very good nurse," says Reyes. "I like that she remains confident and unapologetic in a world where nurses don't receive the same respect as doctors." Reyes grew up in the Bronx and became interested in acting while attending Hunter College in Manhattan. In 1992 she landed her first major acting role in the independent feature film "Jack and His Friends," opposite Sam Rockwell, and went on to perform extensively in the New York theater. She is particularly proud of her work with the Labyrinth Theatre Company, a multi-cultural acting space in Manhattan where she is a founding member, along with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Rockwell, John Ortiz and Lauren Velez, among others. She has served as both actor and producer on numerous productions over the past 10 years. Reyes' other film credits include Martin Scorcese's "Bringing Out the Dead," with Nicolas Cage, and the independent film "Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God, Be Back at Five." She can also be seen in the film "Washington Heights." Additionally Reyes acted in and co-produced (with her husband, writer/director Edwin M. Figueroa) "Taino," a short film which was screened at the 1999 New York International Latino Film Festival and at the 2001 Los Angeles Latino Film Festival. Reyes' television credits include a recurring role as Tina on "Oz." She has also appeared in "The Sopranos" and "100 Centre Street." Her made-for-television movies include "John Sanford's Mind Prey," with Eriq La Salle, and "The Prosecutors." Reyes resides in Los Angeles during production, but frequently returns to her native New York. In addition to acting, Reyes looks forward to producing more independent films.
