Farrell 'scrubs' up for US TV debut
Irish star Colin Farrell is set to make his US TV debut in the hit sitcom 'Scrubs', according to Hollywood newspaper Daily Variety.
The 28-year-old star, who recently played the title role in Oliver Stone's epic 'Alexander', will guest-star as an unruly Irishman, in an episode to be aired on 25 January in the US.
Farrell's primetime appearance is reportedly the result of his friendship with Zach Braff, the star of the tongue-in-cheek show about the lives of hospital doctors.
The role marks Farrell's first foray onto the small screen since the late 1990s when he appeared in the BBC series 'Ballykissangel'.
Since then, Farrell has become one of Hollywood's fastest-rising stars, scoring roles in Tom Cruise's 2002 film 'Minority Report', thriller 'Phone Booth' and the 2003 action hero film 'Daredevil'.
