[edit] Profile
Janitor is a sarcastic, mysterious hospital employee who has made it his business to terrorize series protagonist J.D. This character is an interesting paradox in that he is both a clever underdog who frequently outwits the more educated doctors (he claims to have been offered janitorial jobs at Princeton and Yale, even though he could not figure out the coin riddle), but at the same time is the physically imposing bully of the hospital. His bullying generally seems to be more out of amusement, rather than genuine cruelty or mean-spiritedness; J.D. being an easy target because of his soft side and vulnerability. That said, some of his practical jokes have been on the severe side, such as duct-taping Dr. Cox's mouth and leaving him in a case in the morgue for two hours and trapping J.D. in a water source. His love of torturing others could also be due to the influence of his father (played by R. Lee Ermey in a parody of Ermey's most famous role as a Drill Instructor in Full Metal Jacket). A few flashbacks reveal that it was his mother's strict parenting that influenced him to become a janitor.
Neil Flynn, the actor who plays the Janitor, has said: "I think it's possible that he doesn't hate J.D. Maybe J.D. is as close to a friend as he has. For all we know, he just has poor social skills. I think that the Janitor constantly misreads J.D.'s motives and assumes he's a rich young punk." [1]
Since Janitor works in a hospital, he seems to have developed an inferiority complex about his job. Many episodes show Janitor pretending to be a doctor (Dr. Ján Ïtor) and he also feels very self-important when called on to assist in medical emergencies ("His Story III"). He does, however, defend his sanitary responsibility in the hospital whenever J.D. insults him about it. Janitor has helped people before, as seen at the end of "His Story III", when a patient unable to talk surprises Dr. Cox by not thanking him for the medical care he provided, but by thanking Janitor for being the only one who kept him company. Both seemed genuinely moved.
He speaks Spanish, Korean, and Italian, as well as English. He has also been able to pull off, convincingly enough to fool other staffers in the hospital, at least 3 different English dialects (stuttering, British, and a German accent). J.D. was the only one who knew his real voice ("My Friend the Doctor").
Janitor's facility with accents is explained by his membership on his high school's speech team ("My Fifteen Seconds") and his past experience as an actor; he even had a small role in The Fugitive (Flynn actually played the role of the transit policeman who is shot on the commuter train in the film, mixing reality with the story line). Janitor shares this secret only with J.D.; it explains why he's a janitor now, and was implied as another reason for his sadistic behavior, as an outlet for his frustration at a failed acting career ("My Friend the Doctor").
According to a conversation he has with Carla in the Season 5 Episode "My Missed Perception", the Janitor has been working at Sacred Heart for 13 years (in 2005, so he began in 1992). However, in "His Story III" the Janitor claimed that he became a Janitor fresh out of college and chose to work at a hospital to make a difference, which would mean he has been working at Sacred Heart for roughly 20 years (Janitor is 42 years-old in season 5, as he was 37 in season 1) or had worked at a different hospital for seven years before transferring to Sacred Heart, or maybe he didn't graduate college when he was 22. There is not any information on his previous employment beyond his minor stint in The Fugitive. And as discussed below, his pathological lying means any biographical details have to be taken with a grain of salt.
He has made several attempts to move up the ladder including becoming announcer for the hospital ("My Fifteen Seconds") and security guard. However, he was demoted to janitor after Dr. Kelso got his hearing back and after he tackled Dr. Kelso for using a fire door for his own personal use respectively. He also became manager of the hospital's Coffeebucks to protest against Dr. Kelso who wasn't giving him (along with several other employees) dental coverage.
Janitor commonly refers to people by their physical characteristics. He was very nice to a previous doctor ("Red Haired Doctor") as well as "Nurse Mop-Head." Also Elliot Reid (whom he knows as "Blonde Doctor", as well as "Blonde-haired Doctor") and, as of season 4, seems to have romantic feelings for her (although he claims to be married with children).
In "My Best Friend's Wedding" at the end of season 3 Janitor had a date, a woman called Franny, at Turk and Carla's wedding. He and Franny stole forks and ladles, where "the big money is" according to him. Janitor having a date implies that either he is not married and had lied about his marital status or was cheating on his wife (or Franny was simply a friend helping him steal cutlery). But later in the episode, Franny was gone and Janitor danced with Elliot.
He also apparently has a tattoo of a mop, according to J.D. in the episode "My Big Move" in Season 4, when he gets a new uniform.
Much of Janitor's life isn't really known for certain. A well-known liar, he is notorious for telling tall tales about himself; since nobody believes him, it is difficult to determine which stories are true. The dubious claims he has made over the years include:
- He claims to have a twin brother, but later admits it to be an attempt at tricking J.D. and Turk. ("My Moment of Un-Truth")
- He went to Harvard according to "My Lucky Night,"
- He went to Yale according to "My Déjà vu, My Déjà vu"
- His wife only has a "pointer" on her right hand and "thumb/pinky" on her left ("My Drama Queen").
- His grandfather was apparently abusive and would beat him with a gym sock full of nickels. This behavior was attributed to his grandfather's OCD, which may or may not be a correct diagnosis ("My Porcelain God").
- He has told Elliot that he has a "sister-mom" and "brother-dad" ("My Own American Girl") in what might have been reference to Jack Nicholson.
- He has told J.D. that he has a brother who is a stripper ("My Rite of Passage").
- He has a cousin, who is a bank teller, that supplies him with an exploding ink cartridge to find out who keeps disconnecting the security alarm ("My Choosiest Choice of All").
- When he was a child, his mother kept him in a 'playpen' a.k.a. a 'baby cage' (a dog kennel). (This appears to be false until the end of the episode where he is arguing with his mother over it.)
- When he was 12 years old, his parents adopted a 46-year-old man, until this adopted son (whom the Janitor refers to as his brother) hit a mid-life crisis, fought with his adoptive father and had an affair with his adoptive mother (Although this probably was a made up story used to distract J.D. while J.D.'s brother prepared to ambush him).
- He failed 8th Grade Gym because he hated the shorts ("My Malpractical Decision"), although this may be untrue because he once came to work in shorts in a planned "Short Day" along with JD.
- He is a world-class hurdler. This appears to be another lie until later in the episode he runs 100 meters in 9.98 seconds (to attack J.D. by surprise). This makes him one of the fastest men in the world.("My Bright Idea")
- He is the reason a nurse named Jill is pregnant, although details are withheld. ("His Story III")
- His great-great-great grandfather was Ambrose Burnsides, prompting him to grow mutton-chop sideburns in the season 6 episode 'My Therapeutic Month', although once again, this proved to be a lie.
- He claims to be 1/4 Inuit. ("My Scrubs") Although it is his step mother who is Inuit.
- He claimed that he was once in the military, but when asked by J.D. which branch, he quickly retracted the comment. ("My New Coat")
Janitor is known to be obsessed with taxidermy and at one time carried around a stuffed rabbit that doubled as a salt shaker and pepper grinder. He also maintained a bizarre "Squirrel Army" consisting of stuffed squirrels that roamed the hospital grounds (each of whom he had given a name) and even held "meetings" with them. Also in "His Story 3" he said that he has a sixth sense "Knowing when squirrels are afraid".Although he sells them at the end of the episode My First Kill, in order to get a new stuffed dog, Steven, to replace JD's stuffed dog Rowdy, it is implied that he is still attached to them, even though he says "It is not a healthy habit".
Janitor is friends with one of the cafeteria attendants named Troy who in one episode taunts J.D. when he insinuates that they are unintelligent. This begins when Janitor enters the shot with a bowl of soup, attempting to consume it with a fork and remarks, "Fork. Me can't eat soup. Nyargh." He is also friends with many other lower-level employees, such as "Crazy Eyes" Margot from housekeeping who sold her children, Brent from parking who is gay, and several others that make appearances. Janitor has a custodial closet "My Butterfly" when J.D and Elliot walked in they saw many other janitors hanging out with a big poster on the wall of J.D labeled "HIM"
Janitor is apparently a baritone/bass based on his singing in My Musical.
[edit] Transportation
He owns a black Ford E-Series van designed after the one on The A-Team, bought after Perry Cox crashed and subsequently blew up his old van (also an E-Series, albeit an older one) after winning a bet against the Janitor. The old lime green van was used as mass transport for the entire sanitary force at Sacred Heart, in a fabled (and rarely seen) daily morning ritual called "The Arrival of the Janitors." It is unclear if the new van is still in use for this purpose, as Janitor is no longer the union president (having lost the election to his protégé, new janitor Randall the Crotch-Punching midget). His van was damaged when Dr. Kelso, believing the Janitor had stolen money from him but unable to prove it, repeatedly bashed the hood and windows with a golf club.
Janitor stole Dr. Kelso's Rascal mobility scooter in another episode and drove it off the roof of the hospital where it landed on Dr. Kelso's car.
[edit] Relationship with other characters
As revealed in the DVD commentary on several episodes, the Janitor character was initially to be used as a figment of J.D.'s imagination if the show had been canceled during the first season or the first half of the second. This fact would have been revealed to the audience in the finale.
- Janitor has always seemed to be acknowledged by other characters, however these can be explained by chance or luck.
- Dr. Kelso seems to acknowledge him in 1.05 ("My Two Dads"), saying "Ammonia is a little strong today."
- He was acknowledged by Elliot in 1.06 ("My Bad") when she threw a coffee cup down next to him and sarcastically says "Sorry!"
- In 1.09 ("My Nickname") Dr Cox calls J.D. "Scooter", a nickname Janitor came up with.
- In 1.11 ("My Own Personal Jesus") he gets punched in the groin by a little girl after asking her what she wants for Christmas, although it is possible that the girl was also a figment of J.D.'s imagination.
- In 1.14 ("My Drug Buddy") when Elliot says to J.D. "I'm not saying anything about a girl that you're sleeping with." referring to Alex, then Janitor walks past and says "He's not sleeping with her" to them, although Elliot does not respond to this.
- In 1.15 ("My Bed Banter & Beyond") Elliot and J.D. observe him teasing Laverne with his vacuum cleaner and then later they both look at him when he talks to them.
- In 1.24 ("My Last Day") he talks to a new intern in the same way he first met J.D. in My First Day. The intern says the door may be jammed with a paperclip (Similar to J.D.s first day, though he said penny), Janitor says that if he finds a paperclip in there, "you're going down" (He said "I'm taking you down" to J.D.)
- His first interaction with a real person is in 1.20 ("My Way or the Highway"), where he gives medical advice to J.D.'s patients.
- However, J.D. sees Janitor speak to a strange looking man in 1.02 ("My Mentor"), saying "That's him.", but like the little girl above he could also be an extension of JD's imagination.
- The first time Janitor interacts with another major character besides J.D. is in 2.16 ("My Karma"), when he blackmails J.D. and Turk.
- From the beginning of Season 2, Neil Flynn joins the rest of the main cast appearing in the show's minimalist opening credits, but the credits were changed back due to objections by fans to other new elements of the credits. Because of the extended time of the new episodes, the shorter credits were put back in place. Neil Flynn has not been represented in the credits since, however he was still acknowledged as a main cast member by the producers as of the second season.
Since then he has had encounters with most of the other regular characters and, aside from Elliot rebuffing his romantic advances, few of the others ever get the better of him, even the head of the hospital Dr. Kelso or the acerbic Dr. Cox. He has even had an entire episode devoted mostly to him (5.19 - "His Story III") wherein he provides narration instead of J.D., and the story revolves around a day in his life.
[edit] J.D.
J.D., the Janitor's perpetual victim, has never really done anything wrong to the Janitor, besides suggesting unknowingly that he jammed a penny into a door that the Janitor was once trying to fix on J.D's second day. The Janitor has since made it his mission to terrorize J.D. on a daily basis, frequently watching him from a distance. Another possible reason is revealed in "My Common Enemy" where the Janitor reveals to Drs Cox and Kelso that he victimises one person in a group for seemingly no reason, almost spotting JD behind him to prove his point. People who are not familiar with the Janitor will ask J.D. if he knows the man (Janitor) that's almost always behind him where ever he goes, with J.D. mostly unaware of this "Big Brother"-like omnipresence. The degree of nastiness with which Janitor interacts with J.D. varies. In some episodes, he merely engages J.D. in banter intended to (and often succeeding to) prove that Janitor is of superior intellect; other times, Janitor outright bullies J.D., wrecking his bike in one episode and attacking him with a knifewrench for no apparent reason in another. In the first episode of Season 6, the Janitor is confronted by a patient who points out that although he once dreamed to be a lawyer, his constant obsession with getting at JD has caused the Janitor to waste his life. Janitor initially considers how his life might have been different, but eventually returns to terrorizing J.D. (turning him into a human American flag) by the end of the episode, never learning the lesson. However, it should be noted that on rare occasions, the Janitor is capable of showing some kindness to J.D., however few and far between. In My Way or the Highway, The Janitor agrees with JD on the course of action of a patient, having spent the entire episode persuading his patients to opt for surgery. He also let him pass unharassed while sweeping a floor in My Cake, out of sympathy for his father's recent death.
Janitor makes more money than J.D. in Season 2, referring to J.D. as "food stamps". That may have changed when J.D. became chief resident in My New Game, and apparently became more affluent.
[edit] Turk
Janitor's relationship with Turk has included some rivalry and conflict, such as in "My Karma" and "My Malpractical Decision". In those episodes, it was largely because of Turk's friendship with J.D., who has pulled pranks on the Janitor both out of fun and revenge for J.D., but in "My Dirty Secret", Janitor began preying on Turk when J.D. ordered him to 'pick someone else to annoy.' Janitor responded 'I don't pick them, they pick me!' Turk plays a practical joke on the Janitor, on behalf of J.D., by putting blue hand prints all over the wall, and then blue paint on the Janitor's hands as Dr. Kelso walked past. So the Janitor retaliated by giving a hypochondriac patient Turk's new cell phone number. In "My Half-Acre", Turk and Janitor worked together in an air band, The Cool Cats, showing that they can put their differences aside. In "My Best Friend's Baby's Baby and My Baby's Baby", Janitor helps Turk push the ice machine in which his hand is stuck to the delivery room where Carla is giving birth, but not before slapping him twice in the face, once for Carla and the other just because.
[edit] Dr. Kelso
Though the hospital's Chief of Medicine is technically his boss, the Janitor is one of the few characters willing to stand up to Dr. Kelso. While Kelso's fear tactics work to paralyze the majority of the staff, they are less effective on The Janitor. Kelso seems to trust Janitor more than anyone else in the hospital, as evidenced when he gives Janitor the keys to his house and asks him to bring him back large sum of cash from his personal savings (which he keeps in a jar in his kitchen). In the fifth season episode "My Half-Acre", Turk asks the Janitor how he knew that Kelso only wants respect, to which Janitor replies, "Because I know him." In the episode "My Quarantine", he has a 'double or nothing' wager with Dr Kelso about whether he can catapult a cotton ball across the room and into a beaker. In the episode, "My Choosiest Choice of All," the Janitor and Kelso collide when it is found that Kelso is disconnecting an alarmed door in order to get to his car quicker. The newly assigned 'security guard' Janitor is torn between doing his job and stopping Kelso and the fear that he might lose his new job. On the episode, "My Urologist," Dr. Kelso tells the Janitor to get his money so Dr. Kelso can bail his son out of jail. The Janitor allegedly spends some of the money on a leather jacket and tells Dr. Kelso to prove if he did it; although it is unclear whether or not the Janitor actually took the money. Dr. Kelso later trashes the Janitor's van and tells him to prove it in retaliation, which the Janitor does by showing Kelso a video of Kelso doing it (recorded on J.D.'s camera, over his movie Dr. Acula). As a result, the Janitor forces Kelso to tell the entire staff that he fears him and he has a great 'fearitude'.
[edit] Dr. Cox
In early seasons, Janitor and Dr. Cox were usually engaged in some sort of conflict, ruining the outcome of sporting events or films for one another, or placing bets on a date to win the other's car. At one point, the maintenance crew locked Dr. Cox in a morgue drawer on the Janitor's orders. However, in many episodes they do form alliances, although generally on a business level, which was the case where a patient had a lightbulb stuck in his rectum. The case was highly unusual, and even more baffling since any conventional attempt would cause the glass to shatter and would require surgery. After a mental stalemate and the useless input from various health profesionals, the Janitor casually gave an expert's description on the bulb's technical type and physical properties, such as its structural weakness near the thin part but noting the strength of the sphere. However, when Dr. Kelso stole the credit for their ingenious and successful procedure, they sought revenge by placing the extracted bulb in Dr. Kelso's lamp. In Season 5, the Janitor and Dr. Cox seem to form a bond when they become drinking buddies, although Janitor largely ignores Cox at the hospital because it is considered 'uncool' for hospital staff to befriend doctors. At one point, the two even become roommates.
[edit] Elliot
The Janitor appears to have a soft spot for the "Blonde Doctor". He even develops romantic feelings for Elliott to the extent of buying an engagement ring and attempting several times to propose marriage in Season 4. Despite this, they seem to be friends, although Elliot still doesn't know the Janitor's real name (though nobody does). It seems clear that Janitor likes Elliot, and this is a major factor in the idea that Janitor makes up his family.
In one episode though, she says, "I like him".
Late in season 4, the Janitor makes a bet with Dr. Cox that he and Elliot will end up dating. The Janitor tells Elliot of his bet (Cox's Porsche for Janitor's van), and Elliot immediately pretends to be seeing the janitor to spite Dr. Cox. The Janitor, after receiving his Porsche, pushes his luck and takes Elliot out on a date. When his plan blows up in his face and Elliot finds out, she's angry at first but admits that she "actually had a good time." This is also the first episode the Janitor learns Elliot's name, until now he's refered to her as 'Blonde doctor', an appellation he almost says as if it were one word, Blondoctor.
[edit] Carla
Although the two rarely talk, it is clear that Carla is one of the few people in Sacred Heart that the Janitor is afraid of. This is shown an episode where Carla protects Turk from the Janitor after he is accused (correctly) of placing dozens of paint handprints on the wall. They are, however, able to help one another, shown in My First Kill when the Janitor helps Carla replace Rowdy, JD and Turk's stuffed dog. The Janitor is forced to trade his entire squirrel army for 'Steven' an almost identical albeit slightly longer dog. Although this is at first seen as an honest gesture, the Janitor's motives are revealed in My Scrubs when he blackmails Carla to teach him to dance, threatening to tell Turk about his replacement dog if she refused.
[edit] Ted
The Janitor seems to like Ted, although once his pretend band, called Hibbleton, (invented in a ploy to impress Elliott), consisting of him, Randall, and Troy (the Sloppy Joe guy) battled against Ted's band (The Worthless Peons). Despite never having sang together, Janitor's band won by singing "Barbara Ann" by The Beach Boys. Janitor has also teamed with Ted on numerous occasions in later seasons, and at lunch he often sits with him, Doug (a.k.a. "Nervous Guy") and The Todd, an outcast group. In Season One he appears to have a rivalry-cum-friendship with Ted based around singles nights at the Korean church - in Korean he comments - while passing with a Korean woman - that he missed Ted the previous night. This appears to be sarcasm however, despite the non-threatening tone of voice, as in Korean Ted replies by asking him to shut up, commenting to J.D. that the Janitor is "baiting" him (Ted). In the Season 5 episode "My Half Acre", Ted and the Janitor are the founding members of an air band (playing guitar and bass respectively) known as the 'Cool Cats' (referred to by Dr. Kelso as 'The Turkeltones' at one point).
[edit] Leadership qualities
Apart from being the former Janitor union president, the Janitor is also part of Hibbleton (formed in opposition to "The Worthless Peons", its entire repertoire consisting of one song, "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys), his impromptu a cappella group, together with Troy the Cafeteria Worker and Randall who are also members of his original "Brain Trust." When he abandoned them in the effort to get the attention of "Blonde Doctor", Elliot, he replaced them with the new Brain Trust of Ted the lawyer, Doug the pathologist and The Todd. He is also often seen leading other hospital employees in various initiatives and other activities, including giving the evil eye (several times) to J.D. and Carla. It is revealed in the 3rd episode of the 6th season (My Coffee) that he is Spokesman for Hospital Support Staff when he petitions Dr. Kelso for a dental plan. In an episode in the 5th season, he and Ted organize an air-band. We learn in the third season The Janitor once had a relationship with Ted's wife.
[edit] Life outside of Sacred Heart
The Janitor fancies himself as an inventor, though usually his inventions are simply combinations of two existing devices. Examples include his pen-straw (Soda tasted like ink), knife-wrench (He calls it practical and safe [so much so he plans marketing it for kids]and then accidentally stabs himself), drill-fork (mostly fork) and the Hover-Hoover (where suction meets the sky). His hobbies include taxidermy (he once rid the trees by the hospital of squirrels), and he is apparently a world class hurdler, running 100 meter hurdles in 9.98 seconds. Janitor also likes to go "Vanning" which consists of him driving long distances in his van. J.D. once saw Janitor at home naked in the shower through a first floor window, subsequently diagnosing him with a possible melanoma (220, "My Interpretation") on his penis. This may conflict with a later episode in Season 5, "My New God", where Janitor asks J.D. to help him move house, and J.D. does not notice the incongruity that Janitor's house is now an apartment filled with ancient Chinese artifacts, it later became apparent that the apartment actually belonged to a Chinese couple who the Janitor hoped would believe J.D. was a burglar.
[edit] Show trivia
- Originally, the Janitor was supposed to be a figment of J.D.'s imagination. The cast and crew were so sure that the series would be canceled by the end of the first season that they kept it as their ace for their forced series finale's plot twist. This idea was kept up through part of the second season until Neil Flynn asked to be able to interact with other actors other than Zach Braff. The first person Neil interacts with other than Zach, is Ken Jenkins (Dr. Kelso)[2]
- Neil Flynn is an experienced improv comedian and, as such, ad-libs many of his lines. Although it is often stated that Neil Flynn ad-libs all of his lines, on several parts of the Season One DVD commentaries and special features both Flynn and Bill Lawrence state that it is generally a mix of ad-libbed lines and the original script, with Flynn usually building on the original lines. Lawrence has also stated that the rest of the cast have followed Flynn's lead, however, and that he will occasionally enter the rehearsal room with no idea what scene is taking place due to its lack of resemblance to the original script [3]. Janitor's incredibly pragmatic medical alter-ego Dr. Ján Ïtor is a happy consequence of one such moment of inspiration.
- In one episode J.D. reveals that the Janitor played a transit cop in The Fugitive. In real life Neil Flynn did play a transit cop in The Fugitive. This lends some credibility to the theory that The Janitor is actually Neil Flynn who became a janitor after leaving acting. This might also attribute to his dreams of greater things, being a doctor, improving his job title, etc., and his seemingly disgruntled attitude towards his job and coworkers.
- The only episode that the Janitor does not appear in is Episode 2.9, My Lucky Day.
- The Janitor has always wanted to punch a whale (My Mirror Image).
- In Episode 3.19, My Choosiest Choice of All, the janitor reveals that he is colorblind.
- Neil Flynn originally auditioned for the role of Dr. Cox (which ultimately went to John C. McGinley). However Bill Lawrence asked Flynn if he would consider another part - the mysterious custodian who makes tormenting young doctor J.D. (Zach Braff) his life's work.
- The role was originally devised as a one-time gag in the series' pilot episode, Lawrence admitted, "When we watched the pilot, we knew instantly we had to keep this guy around."
- The nicknames used for him by other characters on the show include "Jumpsuit", "Lurch", "Jolly Green" and "Nightschool"
[edit] Name
- His real name is never spoken and his name tag simply reads "Janitor", so thus far, he remains unnamed. In several episodes, he even calls himself "Janitor," and in at least two episodes refers to himself as "Dr. Ján Ïtor," while in another, he used the screen name "Rotinaj" ("Janitor" backwards) to post a clip of J.D.'s "Dr. Acula" movie (the 'Dr. Acula delivers a baby and eats it' scene, according to J.D.). However, in one episode, he challenges J.D. to remember his real name, quickly covering his name tag before J.D. sees it.
- Although unlikely to be his real name, in My Friend the Doctor he refers to himself as Nigel (the Brit), Klaus (the 'dimwitted' German) and Ephraim (a 'simple good-natured' stutterer).
- According to the season one commentary with Neil Flynn, when the Janitor's real name is said the show is over. Neil admitted to not having picked out a name for him yet but that it would be something crazy and famous (a couple of examples he gave were Ben-Hur and Buffalo Bill.)
