Why does Dr. Cox from Scrubs hate Hugh Jackman?
I distinctly remember at least 2 episodes of Scrubs where Dr. Cox insults Hugh Jackman (implied that Hugh is a bad actor) and does anyone know the reason why?
I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this...

Wikipedia has surprisingly thorough articles on Scrubs:
Cox harbors an intense hatred for Hugh Jackman, even going so far as to mention him frequently in his rants about things he hates throughout the series. According to a 2006 interview with McGinley, Cox's reason for hating Jackman may be because Bill Lawrence envies the actor's talent.
