'The Middle's' Neil Flynn remembers his first (and last) acting award
23 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Zap2it: How did you become involved with improv?
Neil Flynn: I tried improv pretty late in the game and had been an actor for 10 years, and the idea of improvising scared me. In '92, I left Los Angeles because I wasn't making any headway here. I went back to Chicago. For whatever reason the time was right for me to give it a try. I went to Del Close's theater, the ImprovOlympic Theatre, and I gave it a try and took to it.
Zap2it: When did you know that you were an actor?
Neil Flynn: When I was still in school, probably in high school, and I had not really found my thing. And I did a play, and I really felt at home, and I won a little award for it, and which, by the way, I believe is the last award I won. »

Roush Review: In Praise of ABC's Other Modern Family
23 May 2012 6:22 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
What the heck? Has a TV family ever been more appropriately named than the Hecks of ABC's spectacularly funny, oh-so-relatable and woefully underappreciated The Middle? They can never catch a break or catch up with the frantic pace of chaotic family life. Always strapped for cash, too overwhelmed to keep their ramshackle house in order — "I'm too ashamed to even open the door for the Ups guy," whines the hilariously harried mom Frankie (Patricia Heaton) — they are a mess.
They are also a riot, mostly because they feel so real. Wrapping their third and best-yet season tonight (8/7c), with the Hecks scrambling to make the house fit for an impromptu family wedding, unflappable dad Mike (lovably gruff Neil Flynn) tries to calm his wife's hysteria: "We'll just do the bare minimum like always."

Patricia Heaton Lands Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star
23 May 2012 5:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Patricia Heaton was reunited with her TV husbands Ray Romano and Neil Flynn as she was handed a Hollywood Walk of Fame honour on Tuesday.
The actress was the recipient of the 2,472nd star and her friends and family, including actor husband David Hunt and their four sons, looked on proudly as she accepted the accolade.
And they weren't the only ones cheering Heaton - her onscreen partners Romano and Flynn, from shows Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle respectively, were also on hand to celebrate with her.
Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa capped the tribute by proclaiming it Patricia Heaton Day in Hollywood, and the actress declared, "I'm overwhelmed. I came to Hollywood 20 years ago at the age of 30. I had no agent and no manager... God opened a door for me and by God I mean Ray Romano."
And in a post on her Twitter.com page, she adds, "What a fun morning! so great to have loved ones gathered together at something other than a funeral!" »
'The Middle's' Neil Flynn: 'Too much doing what I want, when I want'
16 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Neil Flynn was kicking around show business for 20 years when his big break came from what was supposed to be a nothing, one-time role on "Scrubs."
He was the janitor.
"There was no promise that he would ever appear again after the pilot," Flynn tells Zap2it. "And then Bill Lawrence, who created the show -- [who] I owe an eternal debt to -- he just wrote me into every show for eight years."
Flynn now plays Mike Heck, the dad on ABC's "The Middle."
"Mike and Frankie (Patricia Heaton) balance each other well as characters," Flynn says. "And they are believable."
The comedy, which often flies under the radar, "is relatable," he says. "It is pretty grounded."
This show has also been wonderful for him, he says. "The producers of 'The Middle' were looking forward for me to audition," Flynn says. "And that is the only time anyone »

'iCarly' and 'The Middle' keep the'Drake & Josh' tween TV show fire burning
25 April 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"iCarly" (2007- ): The first situation comedy to use the Web and interact with viewers, features a Web show within it and has allowed the kids to grow up, but not too much. Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) has a genuine sweetness; her best friends, bad girl Sam and nerdy Freddie (Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Kress), put on the Web series with her. Carly's older brother, Spencer (Jerry Trainor), is her wacky guardian, as their parents are in the military.
"The Middle" (2009- ): If you're looking for a comedy to watch with your kids, this is it. Patricia Heaton is fearless as Frankie, who takes two-second "showers" in the kitchen sink to rinse her underarms and colors her gray roots with marker. Neil Flynn is her perfect match as her loving husband, Mike. Axl (Charlie McDermott), the son who seems to only eat, sleep and grunt, is solid. But the two younger kids get the funniest situations. »

Christa Miller: Why I'm Scared to Say Cougar Town Is the Best Job Ever
20 March 2012 8:29 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
When I was asked to write an article about what it was like to work with my husband on a TV show, I assumed it was because people thought it would be titillating. He's a creator/writer/producer, I'm an actress; there must be lots of gossip, in-fighting, maybe some crazy-sexy time on the set, right? Actually, it's pretty tame. But it is still the best thing I've ever done.
When Bill Lawrence and I got married, I was on The Drew Carey Show (yes, I occasionally booked jobs without the aid of my husband). I did an episode of his new show, Scrubs, for fun. It quickly turned into any actress' dream gig. Bill and I were cranking out children -- we have three now -- and I was able to work when I wanted with a hyper-talented cast. I wasn't a regular, so I could still be a full-time mom. »
