After graduating from the College of William & Mary, Lawrence wrote for hit shows including Friends, Boy Meets World, and The Nanny and produced the animated series Clone High. He is also the creator of the sitcoms Spin City and his current venture, Scrubs, which has finished six of its seven seasons on NBC. He is also one of the producers of the rejected television pilot Nobody's Watching. In 2006/2007 he was prepping the film "Fletch Won" (which is a prequel to the previous Fletch films), but after Scrubs star Zach Braff dropped out, Bill Lawrence then soon after dropped out as well.

Along with many Scrubs cast members, Bill Lawrence also has a small role playing himself in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie in a scene with Miss Piggy.

In a recent episode of Scrubs, Bill appeared as an extra in the maternity center.
