What film will you do in 2024? :-)
InestableVacio says:
I’m wondering, what are your thoughts about people frequently citing Natalie Portman’s character in Garden State as an example of the ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’ trope? Do you find this a legitimate criticism or unfairly reductive?
teebs21 is wondering about the future:
After the grey beard the grey hair will surely follow, and your transformation into Jon Stewart will be closer to completion. (A compliment, naturally.) Would you ever consider moving into Daily Show-style TV?

Zach, “Guy Love” from Scrubs is my ring tone. What is yours?
twilliams0090 asks:
It seems like your fans mean a lot to you - how much of a driving force are they in what you do?
DavidWH0 says:
I’m a fan since Broken Hearts Club and thought you were terrific. I believe you put the lie to the trope that straight can’t play gay and vice versa. Do you think the meme that a gay actor cannot play straight romantic lead is propaganda left over from less tolerant times, and will we ever get past it?
dinamarca wonders:
How does it feel to see yourself on TV? Do you pause, watch the rest, or frantically push the remote control for next channel?
rhysieh93 asks:
When are you and Donald Faison tying the knot?
leemarvinismyhero has these ponderances:
Why did Scrub always have sentimental crappy life lessons in every episode? And why didn’t Bob Kelso get his own spin off show? He was the only character worth a damn.
Scrubs
Dijay Dave wants to know:
How did you break out of typecasting after so many years of working in Scrubs?
PlanetNat asks:
Do you have to take special medicine to be so damned handsome? :)
Carmel Ann Maria Roper says:
Hey zach, since watching scrubs my son insists on calling me biatch (for this I forgive you). As a family we have watched with admiration and have been inspired by your wish to make a film how you intended it to be made (for this we thank you). How does the reaction to kickstarter vary (if at all and yes i use too many brckets) from country to country? X
slobberfest has this question for Zach:
Would you ever pay a director 10,000 dollars to be be in a film they were making?
GeekStinkBreath would like to know:
Any thoughts on Family Guy’s criticism of Scrubs?
vambeefco has a question:
Have you ever seen a ghost’s dick?
Zach answering your questions…
Ryan Boyle would like to know:
Is it disappointing that Kickstarter is the only way to get smaller projects off the ground or heartening that people want to see your work so will support you?
twilliams0090 wonders:
How have you managed to maintain such flawless facial hair?
Kevcoe says:
Zach, saw your play All New People in London a couple of years back, really enjoyed it, any further plans of a theatrical nature?

Zach Braff is ready to answer your questions…
Post your questions for Zach Braff
Zach Braff could easily have just stayed sitcom-famous, content to unspool internal monologue as John Dorian in US comedy series Scrubs – a doctor bullied by colleagues and his own hopeless romanticism across 175 episodes.
But instead the American actor emerged with Garden State in 2004, an indie drama he wrote, directed and starred in. It made $35m off a $2.5m budget and earned a cult who loved its vivid portrayal of Gen-Y inertia.
Ten years on, following various stage and film roles, he’s set to release his next directorial effort, Wish I Was Here. Braff also wrote the film alongside his brother Adam, and stars as Aidan Bloom, who takes it upon himself to home school his children with his own curriculum – cue life lessons for Aidan as much as his kids. Braff got the film off the ground partly via a hugely successful crowdfunding campaign, which raised over $3.1m from 46,520 backers.
With the film getting a UK release on 19 September, Zach is coming to the Guardian to answer your questions about it or indeed anything else about his work. He’ll be here from 2pm onwards on Wednesday 17 September – post your questions in the comments section below and he’ll endeavour to answer as many as possible.
