Scrubs star Zach Braff is set to become one of the highest paid actors on TV if the hit sitcom gets renewed by NBC for a seventh season.

According to sources, the 31-year-old actor has landed a deal that will earn him around $350,000 per episode for the 2007-08 season.

The new deal will put him in the top echelon of highest-paid male actors on US television, alongside Two And Half Men star Charlie Sheen, whose paycheque is also in the $350,000 per episode range.

Braff, who also wrote, directed and starred in the 2004 independent romantic comedy Garden State, plays Dr John 'J.D.' Dorian on the show.
