In Scrubs (2001), he originally tried out for the role of Dr. Perry Cox, which later went to co-star John C. McGinley. The role he did get was that of the Janitor, which was originally intended for only the pilot episode. He soon became a regular cast member.

He was awarded the 1986 Joseph Jefferson Award Citation for Actor in a Principal Role in a Play for "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe", at the Absolute Theatre Company in Chicago, Illinois.

Often cast in small roles as a Police Officer.

He was nominated for a 1988 Joseph Jefferson Award for Actor in a Supporting Role in a Play for "Whistle in the Dark", at the Body Politic Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.

His Scrubs (2001) character has been named only, possibly, three times. In the episode, My Friend the Doctor (2003), it is revealed that "The Janitor" played the part of "Transit Cop" in The Fugitive (1993), a part that was actually played by Neil Flynn. Because of that, fans have speculated that The Janitor's mysterious name is also Neil Flynn. In another episode (in one of J.D.'s fantasies), "The Janitor" is talking to his son's class in school and refers to himself as "Jan Ítor". "The Janitor" also refers to himself, in thought, by that name in the episode, His Story III (2006). In the episode, "Scrubs" (2001) {My Manhood (#7.8)}_, "The Janitor" admits to "Dr. Cox" that three statements have some truth to them, but he is not stupid. One of those admitted partial truths is that he has been called "Josh" before.

He was nominated for a 1996 Joseph Jefferson Award for Actor in a Revue for "Farewell My Compuserve", at the Second City Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
