[edit] Career
Faison's acting career began at childhood when he attended the Children's School for special Development in New York.

Before his debut on Scrubs, he became famous for his role as Murray Lawrence Duvall in Clueless, the 1995 movie and the subsequent television series, which ran from 1996 to 1999. In 1995, he appeared in Waiting to Exhale as Tarik, the son of Loretta Devine's character, Gloria. He was also featured in the 1995 movie New Jersey Drive. He had a recurring role as Tracy on Felicity, appeared in Remember the Titans as the ambitious running back Petey, and provided voice work for various characters in the MTV animated series Clone High. He had minor roles in the sitcoms Sister Sister and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Josie and the Pussycats.

In 2005, Faison produced one episode of MTV's Punk'd involving his Scrubs co-star Zach Braff.

[edit] Private life
Faison has four children: his eldest son with childhood friend Audrey Ince, and three others with Lisa Askey, whom he married in 2001. The couple filed for divorce in 2005. He dated Minka Kelly after his marriage ended. In February 2007, he began dating CaCee Cobb, who was a former personal assistant of Jessica Simpson.

His younger brother is singer Olamide Faison, from the R&B group Imajin.

Zach Braff has stated that Donald Faison is one of his best friends.

"I think it's great," says Faison, when asked about Jessica and Tony's relationship.

Jessica and Tony's first public makeout session took place at Cacee's 30th birthday party a few weeks ago.

The friendship between the four stars seems to be growing every week, although Donald is trying his best to keep his relationship with Cacee out of the limelight.

"CaCee and I prefer to keep our relationship away from the glitz and cameras," Faison told PEOPLE magazine on Sunday.

Jessica and Tony can try all they want to keep their relationship out of the public eye, but it's not likely to happen.

When something this big happens in Hollywood, people are going to talk.

Once again, Joe Simpson must be thrilled
