"Mandy Patinkin has joined the cast of Zach Braff&amp;#039;s new movie. Braff took to Twitter to announce that the Homeland actor - who plays Saul Berenson in the Showtime drama - is set to star in his next project Wish I Was Here  He tweeted a photograph of the pair and told his followers: &amp;quot;One of my favorite actors of all time joins the cast of Wish I Was Here: Mandy Patinkin will play my father.&amp;quot; The Scrubs star launched a Kickstarter campaign in April in a bid to raise $2 million to fund the project. He reached his target sum in just three days and, at the time of writing, the fund stands at $2,610,912 with more than 38,000 backers. The 38-year-old chose Kickstarter over traditional methods of funding so that he could produce the movie with &amp;quot;no compromises&amp;quot;. He said: &amp;quot;Financing an independent film the traditional way often means having to give away your right to &amp;#039;the final cut&amp;#039;, casting choices, location choices and cutting down your script to make it shoot-able on the cheapest budget possible.&amp;quot; Braff will play the lead in the film which he wrote with his brother Adam Braff. It focuses on struggling actor and family man Aidan Bloom, who fantasises about becoming his childhood sci-fi hero Space-Knight. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
