Zach Braff wants to play Stephen Miller on Saturday Night Live
By Tyler Brooke
Former Scrubs star Zach Braff made a public plea to Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels to try and play Donald Trump’s senior advisor Stephen Miller.
Melissa McCarthy stole the show on Saturday Night Live a couple of weeks ago with her surprise appearance as White House press secretary Sean Spicer. Now, all kinds of celebrities are wanting to get in on the action.
After McCarthy’s appearance, long time rival of Donald Trump, Rosie O’Donnell, came out publicly to say that she was interested in playing Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon, even changing her Twitter picture in the process.
Now, former Scrubs star Zach Braff is getting in on the action. On Monday morning, Braff sent a tweet out directed towards SNL’s Lorne Michaels requesting to play President Trump’s senior advisor Stephen Miller. Miller has been in the news this past week for continuing to push the claim that there was widespread voter fraud in the United States without delivering any actual evidence.
You can check out Braff’s tweet below, with the actor even saying that he would shave his head if it meant an opportunity to appear as Miller on SNL.
The fact that celebrities are coming out from all over to request appearances as members of Trump’s administration shows just how much steam that legendary NBC series is picking up this season. Since Alec Baldwin took over to play Trump, we’ve had all manner of cameos from John Goodman as Rex Tillerson to Kate McKinnon as Kellyanne Conway and Jeff Sessions.

Miller is only recently coming onto the scene, but Braff could probably do a solid job impersonating the senior advisor if called upon. We still haven’t heard anything about O’Donnell as Bannon, but we’re hoping that some of these celebrities making requests to play certain political figures get the chance to play them.
