How Zach Braff got through a bad time to make ‘A Good Person’

Characters who never fall down, never have to crawl and struggle to regain their emotional footing, hold little interest for Zach Braff.The “Scrubs” TV alum’s four feature films — 2004’s “Garden State,” which he wrote when he was 25, 2014’s “Wish I Was Here,” 2017’s “Going in Style” and now “A Good Person,” in theaters March 24 — all reflect his preference for flawed individuals, ordinary people who get pitched a curveball that dramatically changes the game of life.His protagonists don’t necessarily do the right or rational thing, but their actions ache with an authenticity often overlooked in major studio productions. It’s a calling card of Braff’s to highlight the unpredictable nature of people, a tradition he used to joke about when he was on the celebrated hospital sitcom, which ran for nine seasons.“We would say that a lot on ‘Scrubs,’” recalls the 47-year-old South Orange, New Jersey, during a recent interview in San Francisco. “We would say, ‘Don’t do that …...

They’re hollering at you, happy to see you. I mean, how great is that?” Tang recalled. “My wife was upset. She’s like, ‘You’re going to get arrested.

Not in Manhattan, Kansas.One year after taking over a downtrodden pro...
