Janitor Knows Best
There are a lot of hospital-based shows out there, but one of the best in the genre is Scrubs, hands down. Having a hilarious janitor on set at all times had to have made the filming process so much fun. The best part about having a natural-born comedian onset is not having to put too much work into his lines – even when his role is relatively small. It’s the actor that makes the part, not the other way around.
Actor Neil Flynn is better known as Mike Heck from The Middle, but he also brilliantly played the funny janitor on Scrubs. Neil is naturally a funny guy, so when he was placed into the position of a hospital janitor, he made it the best character to ever mop a floor. The best part is, he often improvised. Many of his scripts simply stated, “Whatever Neil says.” Good move writers.
