## Transcript

For your Late Night Highlight, actor Zack Braff was on Late Night to talk about his latest movie, Wish I Was Here. He plays main character, Aiden Bloom, a struggling actor and father trying to find himself. The movie was completely funded by his fans on Kickstarter. And to thank them, he decided to make personal video messages, and leave voice mails for his supporters. He told Seth Meyers, one message request was. A little weird. I had this one guy who's a dentist and he wanted me to read, like a greeting for the people in his waiting room. So I did it and I was like, welcome to Dr. Shapiro's office.

Yeah it was like hi I'm Zach Braff please turn off your cell phone. Yeah that's a little strange but probably not the craziest thing a celeb has been asked to do. Zach co wrote the movie with his brother Adam Braff and he also directed [ UNKNOWN ] But as it turns out he's used to the director's chair by now. Zach's also directed some episodes of Scrubs, a TV movie and the film Garden State according to IMDB. Thanks for watching. I'm Mike Sergeant.
