Zach Braff

As the character of JD on the quirky medical sitcom, Scrubs, Zach Braff gave fans more than his fair share of laughs and memorable moments during the series. The show combined comedy and drama to create the perfect balance of intrigue, peppered with comic relief. In 2009, Braff made the difficult decision to leave the show for good.

Even though he was making around $350,000 per episode at the time, the actor set his sights on bringing his second original film to life since Garden State premiered in 2004. He found that the show was taking up too much of his time to focus on his passion project.
