'SCRUBS' star John C McGinley, who plays the sarcastic Dr Cox in the popular sitcom, was honoured for his acting achievements last night by Trinity College's Philosophical Society.
McGinley, whose great grandad was from Donegal, is perhaps best known for his role as the cruel but witty senior doctor in 'Scrubs'. But he has also worked with Oliver Stone in six films, most notably as Sergeant Red O'Neill in 'Platoon'.
Society president Barry Devlin said it was "an honour to have such an accomplished actor visit our college".
Earlier yesterday the Philosophical Society launched its "PhilSpeaks" initiative with Senator David Norris. Through it, children from all over the country will be offered a chance to learn the art of public speaking and debating.
