Neil Flynn
 
Notes / Trivia
An alumni of Chicago's ImprovOlympic and Second City.

Formerly a member of the Chicago improv troupe known as "The Family" (predecessor to Comedy Central's "Upright Citizen's Brigade").

Student of Del Close.

In "Scrubs" (2001), he originally tried out for the role of Dr. Perry Cox, which later went to co-star John C. McGinley. The role he did get was that of the Janitor, which was originally intended for only the pilot episode. He has since become a regular cast member.

Raised in Waukegan, Illinois.

Attended Waukegan High School (East Campus).

His "Scrubs" (2001) character has never been named - except possibly twice. In episode #309, "My Friend the Doctor", it is revealed that the Janitor played the part of "Transit cop" in The Fugitive (1993), a part that was actually played by Neil Flynn. Because of that, fans have speculated that the Janitor's mysterious name is also Neil Flynn. In another episode (in one of J.D.'s fantasies), the janitor is talking to his son's class in school and refers to himself as Jan Ítor.

Had a small role as a street preacher in Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer but his scene was cut. Deleted scene can be seen on the 20th Anniversary DVD edition.
