I'm so sad Scrubs is going to be in it's last season I'll miss Zach so much. ...Continue »
Zach Braff is one of my favorite actors of all time. When Scrubs ends sadly this season I hope someone gives Zach Braff a role on another show. He's such a talented and hilarious actor. I do not want to see his talent go to waste when Scrubs ends, it will be sad to see Scrubs go but even sadder to see Zach Braff leave. He can make you laugh and smile just but an expression on his face. I love the way he says the craziest things and how he can turn any situation into a hysterical moment. But what makes him an even better actor is how at the same time he can pull of a dramatic scene like in the episode My Screw Up. He's just so talented and one of my favorites.

Zach braff is well known for his role as JD an intern at sacred heart hospital (scrubs). ...Continue »
Zach Braff is hilarious and deffinately deserves an award for his work on scrubs. The way he plays the role of JD is new and refreshing. He has a lot of good story lines and acts to his greatest. Him and John C McGinley are great together as a comedy pair and this is what makes Scrubs so good his jokes and pranks with the Janitor are also well acted half the time he generally does look surprised :P He is very talented and even if u disagree with me its my opinion and JD is what makes Scrubs! Yep =P

His most sucessful character has got to be JD in scrubs but he also writes some of the episodes in scrubs.

Quirky and Cute! -Zach Braff ...Continue »
Zach Braff is not only a great actor but also an amazing director. I've been able to see this through The Garden State- a movie he directed in starred in that is a masterpiece. Along with that you can see him on tv everyday numerous times in the hit tv show Scrubs, which he is the main character of. He's contributed much to the show including his acting talents. I see big things in the future for Zach Braff, and not just as the cotonelle puppy, but as a star. He is a star on the rise. With all his talent and quirkiness he will be big.

Zach Braff is definitely a one in a million actor, he has multiple personas he can play such as the quieter andrew largeman in garden state or the quirky JD in Scrubs, his biggest hit.. ...Continue »
Zach is a talented actor with alot of potential in directing, writing, producing, acting, compiling albums. He can accomplish every aspect of a movie all by him self. I believe he is the best actor of the current time and he can do any emotion or reaction given to him. He is mostly well-known for scrubs which might have been his first break but i don't kno. I am a scrubs watcher regularly and i think it wouldn't be the same show without him, I'm glad bill Lawrence found him. Garden state was a great movie a lot less action but still excellent. Had a great soundtrack. I didn't see last kiss and the ex but i plan on it sometime. Just because he is in them i will watch them. The best actor on TV right now.
