Neil Flynn Movies
Comedic actor
Neil Flynn cut his teeth with the renowned improv companies Second City and ImprovOlympic, the latter of which saw him study under the late improv guru
Del Close. Despite his comedy-oriented aspirations, though,
Flynn spent much of his early career taking bit parts in films like
The Fugitive and
Magnolia and on TV shows such as
Doogie Howser, M.D. and
Chicago Hope, often playing a cop. But in 2001, things took a decidedly positive turn when he was cast as the nameless Janitor on NBC's
Scrubs, a role that was intended only for the pilot but was expanded to a regular series character in light of
Flynn's performance. In addition to his live-action work,
Flynn has also done a considerable amount of voice work on such animated projects as Clone High,
Kim Possible, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
