\n\tZach Braff is back, and so is Scrubs. It could be called a 10th season, or maybe a first, but for Braff maybe it is really the ninth because all at Scrubs are pretending that season \u2013storywise \u2014 of the original run doesn\u2019t exist. It also is not a reboot but rather a revival, but no matter how you describe it, the show has been welcomed back with open arms by ABC and Hulu audiences. It now has been renewed<\/a> for a, uh, second season of the revival and Braff is happy to be back as he told me for this episode of my Deadline video series The Actor\u2019s Side.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to reuniting with the original cast, Braff also talks about his versatile career behind the camera, not just as producer and director on Scrubs but also as an Emmy-nominated director of other shows from Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence including Ted Lasso, Shrinking and Rooster. Braff tells the story of his unexpected newfound friendship with Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford, who reminded him on set that he started as a carpenter. That came in handy as Ford proceeded to fix the floor in an episode Braff was directing.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course Braff is no stanger to directing, as he has done several films including Garden State and A Good Person. He also is a Grammy winner for the acclaimed soundtrack of the former.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow with 175 episodes of Scrubs as Dr. J.D. Dorian under his belt for the first decade of this century, he is back as Chief of Medicine with an older and wiser but no less funny version building on that number as the show continues to evolve.<\/p>\n
