Yesterday's episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi was another stellar instalment of the limited series, but amidst all the incredible action and plot twists, there was a fun cameo. 

We are, of course, talking about Scrubs and Cheaper by the Dozen star Zach Braff. Initially, we thought Seth Rogen might have been lending his voice to Freck, the Empire loving alien who gives "Ben" and Leia a ride before selling them out to some Stormtroopers. In reality, it was Braff, marking a reunion with director Deborah Chow. 

They first worked together in her directorial debut The High Cost of Living, and Braff has frequently talked about his friendship with Chow on his and Donald Faison's (who we're sure is very jealous) podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends

Freck survives when all is said and done, so fingers crossed we see him appear somewhere down the line. For now, it feels like he got his just desserts courtesy of Ben.

Among the actors credited as Stormtroopers in this episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi are AJ Troup (Pam & Tommy), Shane Hartline (Rock of Ages), Ardeshir Radpour (Avatar: The Way of Water), Melanie Moslie (Rizzoli & Isles), and Will Westwater (Shameless). Braff was the big cameo, though, and we're sure a lot of the actor's fans will appreciate him joining this Galaxy Far, Far Away.

You can check out our recent interview with Braff in the player below (along with a shot of Freck).

Huh. I mean, I get it now. But I'd be surprised if Zach wasn't at least trying to do a Seth Rogen impression.

Fancy getting a Star Wars job and it turning out to be the most disappointing episode ever. Bad luck or what???

I could’ve sworn that was Seth Rogen as Freck. Zach did a damn good job hiding his identity.

All I know is, from listening to the brilliant Fake Doctors Real Friends podcast, Donald is going to be pissed...that man needs a proper Star Wars appearance...not that Resistance shit
