38 | !!Tropes applying to Braff's roles include: |
39 | * StarMakingRole: Playing J.D. in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' launched Braff into the public eye. |
40 | * StarDerailingRole: ''Film/TheLastKiss''. He was given complete creative control over the project in the hopes of reproducing the success of ''Film/GardenState'', but it fared so badly with both critics and audiences that he pretty much dropped out of the limelight until his bit part in ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful''. He dug himself deeper with ''Film/WishIWasHere'', which required a Kickstarter campaign to get the funding, souring his reputation further and opening to mixed reviews in a limited release. |
