Parents are divorced, each is remarried, and all get along with one another. Zach's "four parents" are all at Thanksgiving dinner together every year, with the four children, and the grandchildren.
Won a Grammy in February of 2005 for "Best Compilation Soundtrack For A Motion Picture" for Algo en común (2004), on which he served as the compilation producer.
According to an article in The Chicago Sun-Times, when Braff won his Best First Feature Independent Spirit Award for Algo en común (2004), his father jumped up from a back table in the room and yelled, "That's my kid!".
Attended the same high school as producer Joel Silver (De profesión: duro (1989), Jungla de cristal (1988) and Arma letal (1987)) and drummer Max Weinberg (E Street Band, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993)).

Mandy Moore accompanied him to the Golden Globes in 2006.
His father is of Russian heritage.
On "Scrubs" (2001), Braff's character is often called by various girl's names. Ironically, his first TV role was in an after school special called "CBS Schoolbreak Special" (1984) (Episode: My Summer as a Girl), in which he poses as a girl to get a summer job.
Directed the music video "Chariot" for singer Gavin DeGraw. Zach Braff's real-life friend and "Scrubs" (2001) cast mate, Donald Faison, also made a cameo in the video.
His right leg is an eighth of an inch longer than his left, which led to a herniated disk in late 2006.
Some of the events in Algo en común (2004) (which Braff wrote and directed) are quirky, exaggerated derivatives of occurrences in his real life.
The actor has cut a one-year deal with "Scrubs" (2001) producer ABC TV Studio that will pay him about $350,000 per episode for the 2007-2008 season.
His alma mater, Columbia High School, is in a town (Maplewood, NJ) adjacent to (and is a de facto rival of) Millburn, where Zach's "Scrubs" (2001) co-star John C. McGinley grew up and attended high school. Actress Anne Hathaway also attended Millburn High.
When he sent the script for Algo en común (2004) to people, he would also send them a copy of the songs (which he handpicked) that would eventually be the soundtrack. This was in the order in which they appeared.

Went to film school with Janae Bakken; they now work together on "Scrubs" (2001).
