Writing about his role of Dean Higgins in three Disney films, from the blog Disney Top Ten Lists - "Medfield was Disney's stock college (campus scenes were actually filmed on Disney's studio campus) and had been featured long before Flynn took over. He came to define the face of the college in all three Dexter Riley films. Flynn was a perfect foil for star Kurt Russell, always threatening him with expulsion, yet secretly proud of his schemes. Flynn could do a take of goofy exasperation better than almost anyone."
Sadly, he accidentally drowned in his swimming pool shortly after completing his work on The Rescuers.
