Zach Braff: 'I want to do an action film'

Zach Braff has confessed that he would love to star in a "smart" action film.

In an interview with PopEater, the former Scrubs star revealed that he is a big fan of movies like Inception which he believes are "smart" and have more substance than standard thrillers.

"I want to do a big action movie, one that has me rappelling down a mountain, or shooting an Uzi," he explained. "I'm kind of kidding, but I'm kind of not. I would love to do something smart. You know, a thriller or action film, like Inception or Adjustment Bureau, which I really liked.

"I want to do something that isn't just pure action, but has a smart adrenaline to it. It's not the first thing people think of me for, but I'd love to do it."

He also discussed his love for behind-the-scenes work, adding that he finds being behind the camera just as satisfying as being in front of it.

"You learn something from every [project]. Ideally, you take what you learn and go on to the next thing. The play I wrote [All New People], which is now going into production, has many parts of my experiences, screenwriting, music supervisor, actor, photographer," he said.

"It's a hokey analogy, but pretty accurate: It's like being a conductor of an orchestra. You get to bring all of these amazingly talented people together and then bring out their best."
