In Honor Of National Nurses Week: Celebs Who Were Nurses
And a few stars who practiced medicine…
Ken Jeong
When “The Hangover” was released in 2009, it cleaned up at the box office and spawned two sequels. Ken Jeong stole the show as Mr. Chow. But before he starred in the blockbuster hit, Jeong honed his craft as a stand-up comedian while completing his residency in internal medicine at a medical center in New Orleans. He snagged a few television roles before appearing in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up. Jeong also plays the kooky Ben Chang on NBC’s “Community.”
