Neil Flynn was born on Chicago’s South Side and raised in Waukegan, Illinois, the third of six children. Although he acted in plays during his school years, it wasn’t until he was getting ready to graduate from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, that he began to think that performing.
After college, Flynn returned to Chicago and pursued live theater. He appeared at the Steppenwolf and Goodman theaters there, and worked with Aidan Quinn (in “Hamlet”) and Brian Dennehy (in “Galileo,” at the Goodman), among others. He later became a mainstay at Chicago’s ImprovOlympic, renowned for performing and teaching long-form improvisational theater, and went on to be a member of the Second City Comedy Troupe in Chicago.
A two-time Jefferson Award nominee, Flynn has also made many appearances in feature films, including “Magnolia” (working with director Paul Thomas Anderson), “Home Alone 3,” “The Fugitive,” “Chain Reaction,” “Rookie of the Year,” “Baby’s Day Out” and “Major League.”
On television, Flynn has performed a variety of guest-starring roles on such series as “C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Boston Public,” “NYPD Blue,” “Arli$$,” “The Drew Carey Show,” “That ‘70s Show,” “Seinfeld,” “Ellen,” “Family Law,” and “Smallville.”
