Braff�s love of acting dates back to his childhood in South Orange, New Jersey, where he watched his father, an attorney, work in community theater For Fun. �I was 8 years old and on opening night when the curtain closed and the lights went up, it was the most exciting thing I�d ever seen� says Braff. At age 11, he attended the renowned children�s acting camp, StageDoor Manor, and was scouted by a talent manager who got him started professionally.
Braff�s first role came at 14 in a television pilot produced by Bruce Paltrow (�St. Elsewhere�), where he co-starred opposite the producer�s daughter, Gwyneth Paltrow. He went on to appear in the films �Getting to Know You� (opposite Heather Matarazzo and Bebe Neuwirth), and Woody Allen�s �Manhattan Murder Mystery,� where he played the son of Allen�s and Diane Keaton�s characters. He recently co-starred in �The Broken Hearts Club,� winner of a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film.
Braff has also appeared in theater in New York, working opposite Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett and Liev Schreiber in �Macbeth� at New York�s Public Theatre and as Romeo in Shakespeare-on-the-Sound�s production of �Romeo and Juliet.� He has also appeared in the Shakespeare-in-the-Park version of �Twelfth Night.�
