Zach Braff, currently starrring in Broadway's 'Bullets Over Broadway', stopped by this morning's TODAY on NBC to talk about writing, directing and starring in his newest film 'Wish I Was Here', which he co-wrote with his brother.

During the interview, Braff revealed that at age 13, he settled on a musical theater theme for his Bar Mitzvah, unlike the majority of his peers who chose to center their rite of passage on sports. "I've always been a musical theater geek," he confessed to Today's Savannah Guthrie. "So mine had a musical theater theme - humiliating!"
