On the heels of last week’s news that Scrubs and Clueless star Donald Faison will play a role on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Faison’s Fake Doctors, Real Friends co-host Zach Braff told the actor that he would be down to join the cast as well. And while Faison’s charcter is as-yet-unidentified, Braff’s comments seem likely to confirm fan theories that Faison will be playing a version of Booster Gold. The time-traveling, product-shilling superhero is expected to appear in the upcoming season 7 finale of Legends, and will have a bigger role if the show gets an eighth season.
“I don’t know how I got this lucky,” Faison said when Braff brought up the role. He announced that he would be playing the role, but editors bleeped the actual name so that he wasn’t spoiling the show.
“I learned, just because they of course wrote me things like ‘is Zach going to be [bleep],” Braff added, and Faison replied, “That’s who I think you should play, too.”
Braff asked whether his role would just be a voice, and Faison answered, “No, it’d be a character. We’d dress up like f–ing superheroes, put on superhero outfits.”
Braff replied with, “Well, you tell Berlanti that I’ll [bleep].”
