Neil Flynn


Neil Flynn is an American actor, who was born on November 13, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois. Flynn has been acting steadily since the early 80's, but is easily best known for portraying the wacky, sadistic, and mysterious Janitor on eight seasons of Scrubs. Outside of that, Flynn has appeared in too many films and TV shows to list here. Just some of those include, The Fugitive, Magnolia, Mean Girls, Seinfeld, Sliders, CSI and NYPD Blue. Flynn has since found a second regular TV gig as Mike Heck opposite Patricia Heaton on ABC sitcom The Middle, which is currently airing its third season.
