Dr. Percival "Perry" Cox (most commonly referred to as Dr. Cox) is a fictional character played by John C. McGinley in the American comedy-drama Scrubs.
Character profile
Dr. Cox is the senior attending physician at Sacred Heart Hospital and Residency Director for the hospital[1]. In a 2003 episode, it is established that he is 40 years old, which probably places his birth somewhere around 1963. He is the sarcastic, bitter mentor of John "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff), the show's main character. Dr. Cox routinely rants at and belittles J.D., though his apparently rough treatment of J.D. is intended as conditioning for the rigors and horrors of hospital life, as well as an outlet for Cox's frustration in his life. It is hinted that he is secretly proud of J.D. and thinks he has the potential to become a great doctor.
Dr. Cox is sarcastic and narcissistic, with a cruel wit. He is also very concerned about the way he is perceived in the hospital, often making very illogical and self-destructive decisions in order to keep his "bad boy" image. However, he is a very skilled doctor (in one episode, a local magazine names him best in the city) and is able to make his boss Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins) admit he is the best doctor at the hospital.
His acerbic personality can be attributed to many things, including his divorce, stress at work, and belief that any show of emotion is a sign of weakness. In the episode "My Bad", his ex-wife Jordan challenges him to name three places other than his apartment and the hospital that he has been in the past month, to which he answers "my car". Work seems to consume Dr. Cox, and he likes to feel needed in the hospital. When suspended in the first season, he stays at the hospital and continues working. Kelso, in a rare moment of connection between the two characters, told Cox in season five that being needed is who he is, and that he can't change that.
He can be kind-hearted beneath his gruff exterior, however, despite his specific denials ("I'm not that guy"). He will stand up for what he believes is ethical, even jeopardizing his career in the process.
He is also known for his "shoulder bump."
He uses nicknames for most of the other main characters on the show: he calls J.D. "Newbie" and a vast assortment of girl's names, Chris Turk (Donald Faison) is "Gandhi," Kelso is "Bobbo" and sometimes "Bobcat", Ted is "Flop Sweat", Janitor is "Stretch" and "Lurch", and Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) is "Barbie." The only member of the main cast he always calls by their actual name is Carla Espinosa, a staff nurse.
He prides himself in keeping fit and claims it's down to "discipline" but it is really revealed that the only reason he can stay so in shape is because he has nothing else to do when he is not working.
Despite his brilliance, Cox has, for the most part, failed to rise up the professional ladder because he refuses to accept help from others. Cox's bitterness about his static career and frustration in his personal life is released roughly once a year, when he flies off the handle about some minor event at work and goes out on a drinking binge, coming back the next day as if nothing had happened.[2]
At the start of season six, Cox treats a patient named Mr. Slydell who is afflicted by hypertension and ulcers caused by his constant anger. Cox is visibly saddened when his patient dies, and sees the risks of his own anger reflected in Mr. Slydell.[3] The patient is also portrayed by McGinley, who wears makeup to appear older and partially bald. The patient's last name, Slydell, is a reference to "Bob Slydell", the role McGinley played in the film Office Space.
Dr. Cox is often seen drinking scotch and has acknowledged that he has a drinking problem. In the episode "My Mentor", J.D. fears that Cox will die of liver disease. In Season 5, after making a mistake about a transplant patient that resulted in several deaths, Cox goes to work drunk, a behavior he had upbraided J.D. and Turk for in a previous episode. His son Jack's first full sentence was "daddy drinks a lot."[4]
He hates private practice physicians, considering them to be "sell-outs" for choosing a career that pays more and has better hours instead of one that genuinely helps patients. His dislike for private practitioners has also further degraded the relationship between him and Elliot, after she chose to go into private practice herself.[5]
He has an unexplained hatred for Hugh Jackman. He also frequently wears a Detroit Red Wings hockey jersey, which he calls the best professional sports franchise in history. He is deeply attached to his various hockey, football and basketball jerseys, and also wears other paraphernalia, such as a Cheli's Chili shirt, from a restaurant that Red Wings player Chris Chelios owns. He has also worn a Jeremy Shockey New York Giants football jersey on mutltiple occasions as well as a Rutgers Football t-shirt (prompting speculation that he attended Rutgers University).[6] Because he's from Pittsburgh, he's a raving Steelers fan; his favorite player is Jerome Bettis. J.D. once used this to his advantage by disguising himself as a Domino's delivery boy during Super Bowl XL and delivering a pizza to Cox's apartment. Professing to like Jerome Bettis, Cox invited him in to watch the second half. He can sometimes be seen wearing a blue and yellow Down's Syndrome awareness bracelet (McGinley's son has Down's syndrome, and McGinley served as the spokesperson for the 2006 Down Syndrome Buddy Walk).
Although Cox is an avowed atheist, he sometimes talks to God when he is alone. ("Now, I know you say you love us all equally. But you don't, do ya? I'm onto you, Big Man!" and also "God, my brilliance is now becoming a bit of a burden, get back to me"). He also admits that luck, God or some form of higher power will always play a larger role in a patient's health than any medical intervention.[7]
Dr. Cox has been compared to Gregory House (another television doctor with a similar personality) by Kelso, who says, "Oh Perry, you are so edgy and cantankerous; like House without the limp." This is further explored in "My House", where, as in House, the lead doctor solves medical mysteries with deductive reasoning, a hapless staff, and an analogical epiphany during which Cox acquires a temporary limp.
He seems to be of relatively liberal political stripe, given his strong opposition to the Iraq War, his virulent distaste for the capitalistic American system of medicine, and his disgust at learning that Elliot is a Republican[8]. He described his disdain for both political parties during one of his many rants. He has also expressed a distrust toward "all registered independents"[9].
In the Season 2 DVD commentary of "His Story", series creator Bill Lawrence stated that one of Dr. Cox's quirks is that he knows if someone is standing behind him and who it is, without turning around to check. He is also a very good golfer, regularly besting Dr. Kelso.[10] Cox attends therapy on a semi-regular basis.[11]
According to McGinley, Dr. Cox's habit of often touching his nose is an homage to Robert Redford's character in The Sting.
Relationship with other characters
J.D.
Dr. Cox has served as a reluctant mentor to J.D. since he started at the hospital as an intern, though he refuses to let J.D. use the term. He constantly belittles J.D. and refers to him either as "newbie" or any girl's name he can think of, occasionally even going with themes, such as pop stars, ethnic names, or famous dogs, usually based on "days of the week" or events revolving around J.D. He is constantly irritated by J.D., and has claimed that his head fills with a low-pitched "a-oogah a-oogah" when J.D. opens his mouth.
One possible reason Dr. Cox is so hard on J.D. is the fact his former protegé, Pete Fisher, had slept with Dr. Cox's then wife, Jordan.[12] Once it is revealed to Dr. Cox that J.D. had slept with Jordan, Dr. Cox wants nothing to do with him for a short period, although J.D. is eventually forgiven, as, unlike Peter, he had no idea that Jordan was Dr. Cox's ex-wife. Dr. Cox was also still married to Jordan when she slept with Peter, leading to their split.[13]
He is actually quite proud of J.D.'s progress, even though admitting it freely is nearly inconceivable to him. On rare occasions, he praises J.D. in public, such as when he praises his protegé's talent to Sacred Heart's Board of Directors in "My Fifteen Minutes".[14] Elliot identifies J.D. as Cox's "go-to guy," with whom he confers on various patients throughout the series.[15] Cox even tracks J.D.'s independent activities closely, covering his back when he takes courses of action Cox deems unwise.
In "His Story", Cox confesses to his therapist that he followed J.D.'s advice on a work-related matter, and the therapist is stunned that someone in Cox's life could "get through to him", proclaiming J.D. to be "nothing short of a genius."[11] It is also implied in "My Fallen Idol" that J.D. saves Cox from a depression-fueled drinking binge brought on by the death of three patients[4]. In "My Cake", a clearly uncomfortable Cox helps J.D. come to terms with his father's death by simply sitting with him, drinking beer and watching football along with J.D.'s brother, Dan [16]. In this episode, in one of his few uncharacteristic moments, Cox tells J.D. that he is proud of him. Further, Cox goes out of his way to ensure J.D. doesn't ruin his career by needlessly blaming himself for the death of a patient he connected to but whose fate was out of his hands.[17] Although Cox attempts to keep J.D. out of his life wherever possible, J.D. still manages to attend most of the major events in Cox's life, such as his best friend's funeral[18], Cox's divorce party[19], and the baptism of his son, Jack[20]. He was almost named the godfather of Cox's daughter, but that was changed at the last minute after Cox bribed Jordan.[21] The daughter was named Jennifer Dylan (J.D.), much to Cox's dismay.
Dr. Cox's habit of referring to J.D. by girls' names was McGinley's idea. He does the same thing in real life with his friend, actor John Cusack.[22]
Jordan
Cox is legally divorced from Jordan (Christa Miller Lawrence) but the two have maintained an exclusive "married" relationship together since Jordan discovered she was pregnant. As revealed in flashbacks, the marriage appears to have started out strongly, but went downhill and eventually ended when Jordan slept with Dr. Cox's then-protege Peter Fisher.[12] They divorced shortly afterwards and maintained an acrimonious relationship which included a settlement involving Cox's paying alimony and agreeing to provide Jordan with sex whenever she wanted it.
Their relationship improves when Jordan agrees to let Cox act as her child's father, although she leads him to believe that she was impregnated by a Greek bellboy.[23] During labor Jordan admits to J.D. that Cox actually is the father, then swears him to secrecy.[24] Cox eventually learned the child was in fact his own. [25]
In "My New Game", Ted Buckland, Sacred Heart's lawyer, reveals that the pair are not in fact legally divorced due to a paperwork error[19]. After initially welcoming this change, the two get properly divorced as the revelation was beginning to undermine the positive aspects of their relationship. The two celebrate their divorce and maintain their unusual together-but-not relationship. In "My Long Goodbye", Jordan gives birth to their second child, a baby girl named Jennifer Dylan.[6]
Cox is also best friends with Jordan's brother, Ben (Brendan Fraser), who is diagnosed with leukaemia in "My Occurrence".[26] Thanks to Dr Cox, Ben's disease goes into remission. In "My Screw Up", Ben dies of cardiac arrest while under J.D.'s care. It takes Cox the remainder of the episode to overcome his denial and accept Ben's death.[18] The episode misdirects the viewer into believing J.D. is referring to another patient when he informs Cox of Ben's passing, as Fraser is in the scene and appears with Cox throughout the balance of the episode. However, it is not until J.D. and Cox converse at the cemetery at the end of the episode that it is revealed that Ben has been dead all along, and was only visible to Dr. Cox. A hint for this is when Dr. Cox questions Ben about his doing the "crazy camera guy thing" to which Ben responds, "to the day I die". After J.D. informs Dr. Cox about the patient who has died of cardiac arrest, one can see that Ben is no longer wearing the camera around his neck.
Dr. Kelso
Dr. Cox's devotion to medical ethics is unquestionable, which regularly draws him into severe conflict with Kelso, who often seems to be primarily concerned with the hospital's budget. His clashes with Kelso have cost him a promotion within the hospital and have often put his career in a precarious position[10]. Kelso typically takes the practical side with Cox taking the ethical side, but the two respect each other, and Kelso acknowledges the necessity of Cox's position in their many arguments[4].
In "My Dream Job", Dr. Cox's hatred of Kelso reaches the point where Cox punches him in the face (to defend Elliot, whom Kelso is belittling). He does not lose his job, or even suffer serious consequences, as no one is willing to testify as a witness, and because Dr. Cox fixes Kelso's broken nose.[25]
Cox frequently calls Dr. Kelso "Bobbo" or other nicknames, such as "Bobcat" or "Beelzebob." He also frequently refers to Kelso as the devil.
Carla
Dr. Cox refers to nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) as the only person in the hospital who "gets him." From the end of the first season through the beginning of the second, he claims to be in love with her, a claim she rejects in "My Overkill", saying, "You're not in love with me, you idealize me"[13]. Some time before Turk started at the hospital, Cox and Carla went on a date that ended with Carla kissing him on the forehead.[27]
Even after he renews his relationship with Jordan, Cox continues to go to Carla as a confidante and is still rather protective of her. When Carla is hurt by Turk's unwillingness to communicate with her, Cox exacts revenge on him, explaining that "nobody hurts Carla and gets away with it."
In "My House", Cox is the first to notice Carla's postpartum depression in the early episodes of season six. Carla is also the first to help Dr. Cox through his depression after the deaths of three of his patients.[28]
In "My Way Home", Dr. Cox gives Carla the courage to become a parent.
Elliot
Cox and Elliot do not normally get along well; Cox calls her "relentlessly annoying", which aggravates his "inability to tolerate relentlessly annoying people." Cox usually refers to Elliot as "Barbie". There have, however, been examples of him helping Elliot or respecting her as a doctor. In "My Blind Date," he relies on her as a replacement "go-to guy" when J.D. is busy. In "My Big Mouth" and "My Moment of Un-Truth," he helps her as a doctor, and in "My Ocardial Infarction" Cox even claims that Elliot is a better doctor than J.D. In "My Dream Job", he even goes as far as defending her from Kelso's wrath by punching him in the face.[25].
In "My Female Trouble", Jordan claims that Dr. Cox gets annoyed at the thought of Elliot not needing him, as she has improved as a doctor.[29]
In season five, Elliot and Cox go through a period of mutual hatred, with Elliot alleging that Cox has no respect for her in spite of her respect for him. In "My Déjà vu, My Déjà vu", Elliot even begins an "I hate Cox" chatroom, which ends up with just her, two interns and 14,000 lesbians. Cox mends that rift by admitting that he needs her help with a patient.[30] In "My Coffee", when Elliot treats a patient who is a doctor in private practice, Cox's teasing backfires when the doctor offers her a job with him, which she accepts.[5] Soon after, Cox accuses her of "selling out", and includes her in his general hatred of private practice doctors. Cox now calls Elliot "Private Practice Barbie", and refuses to admit he is jealous of her new job; J.D. points this out in "My Friend With Money", when Cox takes another dig at Elliot, whom J.D. defends.[31]
Turk
Dr. Cox's general indifference and borderline dislike of Chris Turk is a general reflection of his dislike for surgeons as a whole, whom he refers to as "cutters". Turk and Cox compete for Carla's attention in the show's first season. After Cox gets over Carla, however, they remain rivals for other reasons, such as when debating the treatment of a patient[32] or arguing over achievements[33]. In "My Big Brother", Cox and Turk clash about treatment of a transplant patient who had broken the rules.[34] Cox eventually acknowledges Turk to be correct and even passes a positive judgment about Turk to Carla, his then-fiancé. Cox and Turk finally find common ground in "My Turf War", when Cox finds out that they both need to be noticed for their accomplishments. Cox calls Turk and himself "two egotistical peas in a narcissistic pod". Dr. Cox gains a good deal of respect for Turk after Turk retaliates against him for sticking him with an annoying hypochondriac.[35] Cox often refers to Turk by the nickname "Gandhi" (Turk shaves his head) and sometimes as "Turtle Head". Both are shown to be democrats and share similar views in politics.
Jack
Jack is Cox and Jordan's son. He is played by Andrew Miller and his twin brother (although in a cameo appearance in My Missed Perception he is played by Bill Lawrence and Christa Miller's son, William). When Jordan first becomes pregnant with Jack, she tells Cox that she had been impregnated by a Greek bellboy[23]. At first, Cox feels nothing connecting him to the boy (who at the time has no name), but begins to feel a connection after the child responds to the name Jack (which Cox had been trying to impress upon him for some time). Later, J.D.'s college friend accidentally tells Cox that Jack is in fact his child[25], and he takes on the role of father with much more sincerity. Cox has a very unorthodox way of raising Jack, often treating him like his "drinking buddy." Awkward parenting aside, Cox loves his son very much; Cox often talks to him in lieu of a therapist.
Laverne Roberts
Nurse Laverne Roberts appears to be one of the few people in the hospital who can stand up to Cox. In "My No Good Reason", they see eye to eye after arguing whether things in the hospital happen for a reason.[36] He joins the rest of the hospital staff in mourning her death in "My Long Goodbye".
Janitor
The Janitor seems to be another one of the few people who work in the hospital who can stand up to Cox, he and Cox only seem to come into conflict when both are already angered over separate affairs. Cox and the Janitor were once room-mates in an empty hospital room when they both needed somewhere to stay for their own reasons; Cox to get away from Jordan when she was pregnant and the Janitor for other reasons. At one point the Janitor and Cox become drinking buddies but ignore each other at work because the Janitor informs Cox that it's uncool for hospital staff to befriend doctors. Besides this they have been known to aid each other when they can both get something out of it.
Family history
Cox's Irish-American family is from Pittsburgh. He has a sister, Paige, (Cheryl Hines), who is a born-again Christian[20]. In "My New God" Cox reveals that their father was an abusive alcoholic and their mother did nothing to prevent the abuse. When questioned why his sister is so religious, he says "maybe the TV was broken so she picked up a Bible and found it to be just a darn good read, or maybe it has something to do with our mother's ability to watch silently as our dad drunkenly knocked us from room to room." He and Paige have a hostile relationship, ostensibly because neither can appreciate the religious and scientific viewpoints held by the other, but it is ultimately revealed that Paige's presence reminds Cox of the troubled childhood that he tries so hard to forget.
This dysfunctional family history conflicts with Cox's therapist's previous assertions that Cox had a happy loving upbringing, but developed his current problems from his own desire to be the center of attention. There is, however, no reason to believe that Cox is honest with his therapist, as he has shown himself to be an adept and willing liar to avoid embarrassment or dealing with serious issues.
He has two children with ex-wife Jordan: A son named Jack and newborn daughter named Jennifer Dylan (J.D). He had a vasectomy, reversed it, and then had another one, which didn't take.
