Zachary Israel "Zach" Braff[2] (born April 6, 1975) is an American actor and director. Braff first became known in 2001 for his role as Dr. John Dorian on the television series Scrubs, for which he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in 2005.

In 2004, Braff made his directorial debut with Garden State. He returned to his home state New Jersey to shoot the film, which was produced for $2.5 million. The film made over $35 million at the box office and was praised by critics.[3] Braff wrote the film, starred in it, and compiled the soundtrack record. He won numerous awards for his directing work, and also won the Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album in 2005.

In April 2013, Braff announced he was launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to shoot a new film, titled Wish I Was Here.[4]

Early life

Braff was born in South Orange, New Jersey. His father, Harold Irwin "Hal" Braff, is a trial attorney and sociology professor, and his mother, Anne Brodzinsky (born Anne Hutchinson Maynard), worked as a clinical psychologist.[5] His parents divorced and re-married others during Braff's childhood.[6][7][8] One of his siblings, Joshua, is an author. Braff's father was born into a Jewish family, and Braff's mother, originally a Protestant, converted to Judaism before marrying his father.[9][10] Braff was raised in Conservative Judaism (he was Bar Mitzvah at Oheb Shalom Congregation),[7] and has said that he is "not a huge organized religion guy".[11][12][13] Through his mother's New England ancestors, Braff is a distant cousin of politician Mitt Romney.[14][15] Braff was also friends with former Fugees member Lauryn Hill.

Braff wanted to be a filmmaker since his early childhood, and has described it as his "life dream".[16][dead link]

Braff was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder at age ten.[17] As a child, Zach Braff also attended Stagedoor Manor, a performing arts "training center" for youth actors and Triple Threats ages 10–18. He fondly remembers his time there, as it was where he won an acting award and had his first kiss. Stagedoor is also where Braff met actor Josh Charles, who is still a friend of his; he knows many other SDM alums, including Natalie Portman, Mandy Moore, and Joshua Radin.[18] Braff attended the Northwestern University School of Communication where he was a brother of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, and graduated in the class of 1997.[19]

Career

Early work and breakthrough

One of Braff's earliest roles was in High, a proposed 1989 CBS television series with a cast that also included Gwyneth Paltrow and Craig Ferguson; the television pilot never made it on air.[20] Braff appeared in the 1990 The Baby-sitters Club, in an episode titled "Dawn Saves the Trees".[21] He appeared in Woody Allen's 1993 film Manhattan Murder Mystery. In 1998, Braff had a part in a George C. Wolfe production of Macbeth for New York City's Public Theater.[22]

Braff played John "J.D." Dorian on the medical comedy TV series Scrubs which debuted in 2001. The role was Braff's first major role in a television show. Braff was nominated for three Golden Globes and an Emmy[23] for his work on the show. Braff directed several episodes of Scrubs, including its one-hundredth, "My Way Home". For the show's ninth season, Braff was a cast member for six episodes and also served as one of the executive producers.[24]

As director

Braff directed several episodes of Scrubs. Braff wrote, directed, produced, and starred in 2004's Garden State, which was filmed in his home state of New Jersey. Producers were initially reluctant to finance the film, which Braff wrote in six months.[25] At the 2005 Grammy Awards, his "mixtape"[26] won a Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media for the Garden State soundtrack;[27] In 2013 Braff launched a fund raiser on website Kickstarter, seeking to raise $2 million to finance his new film Wish I Was Here.[28]

Braff has directed several music videos: Gavin DeGraw's "Chariot",[29] Joshua Radin's "Closer" and "I'd Rather Be With You"[citation needed], Cary Brothers' "Ride"[citation needed], and Lazlo Bane's "Superman", the theme song from Scrubs[30] . His music production has resulted in newfound success for some of the artists featured on his film soundtracks, such as The Shins, who were prominently featured on the Garden State soundtrack and the Scrubs soundtrack, resulting in the expression "the Zach Braff effect".[31][32]

Other roles

Along with other Scrubs cast members, Braff has a small role playing himself in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie.

Braff has done voice acting, providing the voice of the title character in Disney's animated film Chicken Little (2005), a role he reprised in the video game Kingdom Hearts II. Braff has also done voice overs for commercials, including a PUR water campaign, Wendy's TV commercials in 2007 and 2008,[33] as well as Cottonelle commercials, in which he provided the voice of a puppy.[30]

In 2005, Braff was featured on Punk'd when he was tricked into chasing a supposed vandal who appeared to be spray-painting his brand new Porsche[34][35]

Braff was in talks to star in the film Fletch Won and had signed on to play the role eventually played by Dane Cook in Mr. Brooks,[36] but dropped out of both roles to work on Open Hearts, which he adapted from a Danish film and will direct. He has also co-written a film version of Andrew Henry's Meadow, a children's book, with his brother, and was scheduled to direct one of the segments for the film New York, I Love You.[37]

In July 2009, he signed on as an executive producer for the documentary Heart of Stone to "help spread the word about it".[38]

Braff starred in the romantic drama The Last Kiss, which opened on September 15, 2006. Braff tweaked several parts of Paul Haggis' script for the film, as he wanted the script to be as "real as possible" and "really courageous" regarding its subject matter.[39] As with Garden State, Braff was involved with the film's soundtrack, serving as executive producer.[27][39] The film's director, Tony Goldwyn, compared Braff to a younger version of Tim Allen, describing Braff as "incredibly accessible to an audience... a real guy, an everyman."[6]

In 2007, Braff starred in the film The Ex (2007), which he has described as a "silly comedy".[40]

Braff starred in the Canadian indie film The High Cost of Living with Quebec actress Isabelle Blais in 2010.[41] Directed by Deborah Chow, the film was shot in Montreal and principal photography wrapped on March 9, 2010. Braff stated he enjoyed filming in the country in which The Last Kiss was also shot.[42] The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and was also shown at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Theatre

Braff returned to the Public Theater in 2002, in a part in Twelfth Night, staged in Central Park.[22][43] In mid-2010, Braff took a lead role in Trust, at the Second Stage Theatre, a contemporary Off-Broadway theater company. The play ran from July 23 to September 12, extending its scheduled run by one week.[44] Braff wrote on Facebook that he was "Having so much fun doing Trust". The play co-starred Sutton Foster, Ari Graynor and Bobby Cannavale, was written by Paul Weitz and directed by Peter DuBois. Braff played Henry, a wealthy married man who "looks to find something real in the most unlikely of places".[45]

In early 2011, Braff announced that he had written a play to be performed at the Second Stage Theatre in mid-2011. The play, All New People, is set on Long Beach Island and centers on Charlie, a 35-year-old from Braff's home state New Jersey. The play was directed by Peter DuBois, who directed Braff in Trust the previous year.[46] When announcing the play on Facebook, Braff wrote that 'one of my dreams comes true'.[47] In 2012, Braff moved the play on tour to the UK, playing in Manchester at the Manchester Opera House between February 8–11, Glasgow at the King's Theatre between February 14–18, and finally in London for 10 weeks at the Duke of York's Theatre from February 22.[48]

In development

Braff at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.

Braff's is expected to direct Open Hearts, a remake of the 2002 Danish film Elsker dig for evigt (Love You Forever). The film is about a woman who has an affair with her paralyzed husband's doctor, whose wife caused the accident that put her husband in a wheelchair. It was first revealed that Braff was directing Open Hearts in 2006,[49] at the same time that Braff's film The Last Kiss was being released.

In 2009, Braff was working on the script for Swingles, a film based on a spec script by Duncan Birmingham;[50] he will direct and star in alongside Cameron Diaz.[51]

On April 24, 2013, Braff started a Kickstarter campaign to finance "Wish I Was Here" which based on a script he wrote with his brother Adam Braff.[4][52] Though the idea of a Hollywood actor using crowd-sourcing to fund a project was met with some backlash, the goal of $2,000,000 was reached in three days.[53][54]

Other pursuits

In 2009, Zach Braff opened up the restaurant Mermaid Oyster Bar in New York City with chef and high school friend Laurence Edelman.[55]

Proprietors of the Rio Theater in Monte Rio, California credited Braff with making the donation that put their Kickstarter campaign to buy a digital projector over its $60,000 goal in May 2013.[56]

Personal life

Braff's brother is author Joshua Braff; his stepsister is Jessica Kirson, a New York stand-up comedian.[7]

Braff is best friends with his former Scrubs co-star Donald Faison.[57]

In November 2008, Braff earned his pilot's license flying a Cirrus SR20.[58]

Braff was spotted attending the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.[59]

He has been in a relationship with model Taylor Bagley since 2009.[60]
