I am Donald Faison from Scrubs, The Exes and Clueless - AMA!

What if, when your son is in high school, all his friends want to play football but he wants to be a dancer?

He can dance if he wants to. He can leave his friends behind.

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being "Nothing like Turk & JD" and 10 being "Just like Turk & JD", what is your real life relationship really like with Zach Braff? Is it guy love? And well done on being effortlessly cool on Scrubs.

It's beyond guy love. It's obviously 10 +100.

I think Turk and JD made it less weird for straight man guy love. Thanks!

Agreed! You can cuddle with your man friends and not get a boner.

I love you, brown bear.

I love you more.

You will always be Petey to me.

And you will always be Tim Duncan.

Is there a picture of Zach Braff on your night stand?

Yes, there is actually. Funny you should say that!

I just wanted to tell you that my favourite moments from Scrubs are each fairly insignificant and they were all courtesy your awesome acting.

1: "Check it Baby! Scootas!"

2: "It's SO HOTT!"

3: "Do you see what you get Carla! Do you see what you get when you mess with the warrior!!!!"

So all I want to say is for these moments, and for everything else you've done, thank you!

EDIT: Everyone's responding with how much they love 1 and 3. Why no love for 2!?!?

That's very nice of you to say.

When will you and Zach do a joint AMA?

When EVERYONE can do a joint AMA.

I have read that Scrubs was one of the most accurate medical shows that was on tv. My question is, how much did you learn about medicine from playing a surgeon?

Zero. I can operate...but not in the OR.

Thanks for being part of my all time favorite show,

Do you still Eagle?

With one person, and one person only.

Did you come up with the Poison dance and if so how?

Also did you get to keep the hat from Can't Hardly Wait?

I got to keep the Loveburger t-shirt not the hat. And yeah, the Poison dance was all free-style.

Did you get to keep Rowdy?

No, someone stole Rowdy. We had six of them but I don't know where they are.

I told you already but my answer got deleted! There were six dogs, I got none.

PETEY JONES. RUNNIN' BACK. THE RUNNIN' BACK YA'LL.

I'm confused, what's the question?

Who is your favorite scrubs character?

I'm gonna say my mole.

Do you let all white people jump on you or is it just Zach?

Ask the dude in London who I had to flip! He had it coming.

Did he scream EAGLEEEEEEEE at least?

Yeah, he did, right before he fell on his face.

I really hope /u/zachinoz asks a question!

He probably won't.

Remember the Titans! You can't forget that! "Zero fun, sir." How intense is he to work with?

Denzel's the man. That's it.

Favorite episode of scrubs?

My Musical

TURKLETON!

Edit: Since I should probably ask a question since this is an AMA... How often do you get recognized on the street? Any interesting/funny stories?

ALL. THE. TIME. The only person who I know that's more recognizable than me is television's Wayne Knight.

Who is the 2nd craziest person you know? (Aside from Hooch)

Aside from Hooch? Kristen Johnston.

Were your braces the real deal in Clueless? Or just a prop to make you look younger?

No, they were fake.

Did you ever develop a crush for any of the ladies on the set?

They're like my sisters, man. EW!

Do you have any plans to work with Zach Braff in the future?

Yes, we're doing a movie together. And he voices my dangle this season on The Exes.

Thanks for answering! It's a shame I can't watch it in the UK though.

Actually, you can! I THINK it's on TLC. But don't quote me on that.

Did you ever hook up with Judy Reyes in real life?

No, but that ass is righteous!

Were you jealous that Braff got to do all the fantasy scenes with Sarah Chalke?

No. Sarah's butt is boney.

Just needed to say that i loved your character in Scrubs. How hard was it to hide your boner when you had steamy scenes with Sarah Chalke?

Not hard at all. The thing is, I'm small. But I'm also thin.

Hi Donald, my boyfriend wants to know: what's your favorite chip?

Chocolate.

How many takes did it take to do the dance to tryout for the janitors band?

I don't know what it is, but he's got it.

One. Next question.

I still call you chocolate bear before I refer to you in a conversation as Donald Faison. Should I feel bad? Also, do you and Zach Braff keep in touch? I feel like you two have/had a good relationship from what I've seen.

You should never feel bad for calling me Chocolate Bear. Unless it's racially motivated, then yes, you should feel bad.

Did you and Zach Braff ever go to Disneyland together?

YES! And we rode Nemo. Holding hands.

Not really, just kidding. But yes we did go to Disneyland together.

Got one. I've heard many tales of your dancing on set. Were you a dancer before you got into acting or is it just a hobby or something?

You ever heard of Thunder Down Under?

What would we need to do in order to get Clone High brought back to life? I noticed that many voices from that most excellent show ended up in Scrubs so I figure it can't be thaaaaaaaat hard to get y'all back together, right? The show was paused pretty well...

EDIT: I suggested it to Netflix. Fairly certain that I was talking with a robot named Chelsea who didn't care much what I thought since I don't have an account. But maybe if a few of you paying customers stop over there and make the same suggestion, it can pick up some speed.

I loved working on Clone High. Yeah, it's due for a second chance.

I have have a friend whose name is Mike. I call Mike Chocolate Bear and he calls me Vanilla bear. After awhile escalated his nickname to "Black Whale" and he said he didn't like it.

How long until he comes around?

Tell him Black Whale means penis size. He'll come around soon enough.

Hey Donald, thanks for doing this AMA. If there was a role that you would like to take, whether in a new, old, or reboot movie, which would it be?

Lando Calrissian. Where else could I say "Well well well, what do we have here?"

Were you born awesome or did you practice?

Practice.

How often do you eat Brinner?

Often.

What has ever made you cry before? :)

I love you by the way!!! You rock! I'm a big fan! I cant wait to see you in Kick Ass 2!

Clubbing baby seals makes me cry.

Ass or boobs?

Ass. Then boobs.

Besides acting what is your passion? If you never saw a camera again what would you do? (But really, never stop acting, you rock!!)

Stop motion animation. I love to play with toys.

Skyline made me sad ='(

Me too. They killed a brotha off.

When will we get more black stormtrooper?

The next one is soon! Production starts this summer.

Did you write any of your lines? I'm just curious because you've said two of my MOST favorite lines ever to use at the bar.

"Man, she's like school in the summer...No class"

"You're like 7-11...You can never close."

Awesome stuff man.

"Man, she's like school in the summer...No class" is from Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids.

"You're like a 7-11...You can never close" just reminds me of your mother.

Just kidding!

Truth time.

How often does the mole get you laid?

Well I'm married now so...

Were you ever aware that Rudd was considered for Murray?

Source: Buzzfeed.

If you did know, I hope you were considered for Paris in Romeo + Juliet.

That's funny. Rudd would have played a great black man.

Hey Donald!! Loved you in scrubs, always there to make me laugh. Sorry if you've already answered this, or tired of being asked this. But what was your favorite part about your time on the show? Also, did Neil Flynn really improvise as much as people say he did? Just curious :) Thanks!

Neil Flynn is a genius. And most of his lines were improvised. Also, just being on the show was my favorite part.

Hey Donald!

What are the best things about being on a TV show and being in a movie (SUPER excited for Kick-Ass 2)?

Also, is there a "special someone" you'd like to work with in the future?

There is always a possibility that Jessica Alba will guest star on The Exes. I, too, am super excited for Kick-Ass 2.

What tv show would you love to be in?

It premieres tonight - The Exes! 10:30pm/9:30 central only on TV Land. I'm hosting the night!

Do you and Zach ever sing "Guy Love" to each other?

Yes. When no one's watching.

Hi Donald, just wondering - do you have a pancake drawer in real life?

No, man. Pancakes get stale. And there's nothing worse than a stale pancake!

Did you genuinely freak out when you saw Lando Calrissian?

Absolutely. We then later drank Colt 45.

Sorry, more important question than any of mine before. How far fetched is a Scrubs reunion? I know it hasn't been 5 years or more since it ended, but c'mon. it would be so cool.

Absolutely. I think a Scrubs movie would be better though.

[deleted]

TURK BETTER NOT BE AN ALL-BLACK CAT!

What's the best advice you can give to a soon to be newly wed?

Enjoy the wedding! You'll be high off of it for a really long time.

If you could have cast Zach Braff as one of the roles in Clueless, which would you have cast him in? Do you think you would have stayed with the same role if you had the choice?

Zach would have played the guy who mugged Cher in the liquor store parking lot.

How Excited are you to be in the new Kick-Ass Movie?

also do you have any Advice fore Wanna Be Actors/Filmmakers?

I'm really excited to be a part of the Kick-Ass franchise. My advice to you would be keep on truckin'. I don't know.

What is your favorite dinosaur, just curious.

TyrannasaurDEEZNUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Donald, just wanted to say what a huge huge fan I am of you, and to thank you for continuing to make me smile through thick and thin with your consistently stunning performance on Scrubs. You have made an incredible difference to my life and I truly adore you.

Now for a few questions: - How have the atmospheres of your TV shows differed?

• How did the atmosphere on set differ between the first eight seasons of Scrubs and the ninth season? Did it feel like doing a spin-off or did nothing really change?

• What was it like getting to go to work with your best friend for nine years?

• Congrats on getting married! The wedding looked extraordinary. Were you much involved in the planning or did you leave it to Cacee? Also did Zach just host it or have an active role in planning?

• Also congrats on the baby! Do you know the gender yet?/Have you thought of names?

Again, I just want to thank you for being awesome.

P.S. Could you make a youtube tutorial or similar on how to dance like you in this? I want to inherit your superflyness.

Ok, look. The ninth season of Scrubs was completely different but the same.

1.New characters = new characters 2. It's always fun when you get to work with your best friend. 3. Thank you for your well wishes. 4. The baby's a boy.

P.S. You can NEVER be as fly as me. But I love you!

Did you get asked recently in any interview whether you prefer to smoke weed or animate Legos?

Animating legos. Stop fuckin around.

Thanks for the AMA Donald!

As a massive Scrubs fan who couldn't stop laughing throughout the series I have to ask, which scene did you find hardest to record because of laughter interrupting it?

Sarah Chalke can't keep it together for shit.

Hey Donald! First, I loved Scrubs. My best friend from high school and I always called ourselves Vanilla Bear and Chocolate Bear (I was Vanilla Bear). As a whole, the show was amazingly written and done. But I wanted to ask,

• What was working on the set of Scrubs like? Were there times where it got really overbearing and you needed a break, or were there times where you just couldn't stop smiling because of something?
• Do you still keep in contact with any of the other cast members besides Braff?
• How much does Braff weigh, considering you had to "EAGLE" him a lot?
• Can you tell us ANYTHING PLEASE about Kick-Ass 2?

Thanks Donald! You're also the reason I now have a pancake drawer.

Dude. I get this is AMA but COME ON BUDDY. One question at a time! What's up with the bullet points??

Ain't nobody got time fa dat

Best. News segment. Ever.

Who are better friends, Turk and JD or Troy and Abed?

Who the hell are Troy and Abed?

Thanks for doing a AMA! Which role have you done in the past is your favorite? Which one was the most fun to shoot?

I like working in everything. I like working.

Best meal you've ever had: what, where, when, and (if there was a special reason for it) why?

Pancakes. Dupar's. Before bed. I. Love. Brinner.

Heat or Spurs?

Spurs. It should be almost impossible for the Heat to win ever again. That team is way too talented simply for the fact that they have LeBron James.
