Neil Flynn

Neil Flynn is the textbook face-you-know, name-you-don't character actor, and I mean that as the highest compliment. He sharpened his timing in Chicago comedy troupes through the 1980s before slipping memorably into classics like The Fugitive and Magnolia. Stage, television, film, voice work, he does it all with the easy versatility of a true journeyman. Hailing from Waukegan, Illinois, he carries the seasoned grit of someone who paid his dues for years. I've long believed the reliable supporting player is the backbone of any production, sometimes quietly stealing the scene. I'll take a craftsman like him over a flashier star any day.
