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 …...
