They Could Be Brothers: Scrubs at the Office!

This week, we take a look at two very funny men who happen to have hit comedies on NBC, and who happen to resemble each other: Zach Braff and John Krasinski.

Braff, a Jewish New Jersey native, is well-known for his portrayal of Dr. John "J.D." Dorian on NBC's medical comedy "Scrubs" over nearly seven seasons. He shot into the national consciousness, however, with his 2004 feature film directorial debut Garden State which he also wrote, produced, and starred in alongside Natalie Portman. Zach voiced the title character in Disney's animated feature Chicken Little, and his most recent film role was Tom Reilly in The Ex, co-starring Amanda Peet and Jason Bateman. Zach was set to direct, produce, and star in his own adaptation of director Susanne Beir's Danish film Open Hearts, but has since put the project on hold. He is currently directing/producing a made-for-tv film, Night Life, starring Ashley Williams, written by his older brother Adam Braff. He is also adapting and producing Adam's fiction story, Andrew Henry's Meadow. "Scrubs" has been rumored to be moving to ABC for its final season.


Massachusets-raised John Krasinski shot to stardom playing the lovable Jim Halpert on NBC's hit adaptation of the BBC white-collar workplace comedy "The Office", now in its third season. He has had small roles in films like The Holiday, Jarhead, and Dreamgirls, and stars in the period rom-com Leatherheads, currently #3 at the U.S. box office, co-starring George Clooney and Renée Zellweger. He voiced cocky jock Lancelot in last year's blockbuster animated comedy Shrek the Third.
Like Braff, John wrote, directed, and stars in the indie film Brief Interviews with Hideous Men co-starring Christopher Meloni and Timothy Hutton, due to be released some time this year. He is set to begin shooting Sam Mendes'as-yet-untitled comedy alongside Maya Rudolph and Toni Collette this month. "The Office" and "Scrubs return with all new episodes this Thursday, April 10.
So, who's hotter?

Zach

or

John




FUN FACT: Zach Braff is the ex-boyfriend of singer/actress Mandy Moore, John's co-star in 2007's License to Wed.

Look, drool, debate and VOTE!
Voting ends Monday, April 14, at 2 pm PST.



UPDATE: The votes are in! Final tally:

Zach-1
John-1


A TIE! Oh, sure, make it hard for me why don't you?! Alright, I guess I'm the tie breaker. My vote goes to John-he is much cuter, boy-next-doorish than Zach, whom I not-so-affectionately refer to as "Zach Barf". So with one vote for Zach and two votes for John, John is the winner. Sorry, Leslie. Can't leave it a tie. Better luck next time, I suppose. Thanks for voting ladies. This week's new post should be up later tonight, so remember to vote on it.

crap crap crap, you would have to put 2 of my favorite hotties up against each other... ok, i'm going to have to really think about this one and chose wisely, as not to upset either one. Zach has been my favorite for some time now and John, well, he's just my boy next door hottie and when you watch him on the office he has that look that just cracks me up. so for this vote, it's gotta be my hottie John...
