Flynn starred on Shonda Rhimes's "How to Get Away With Murder" from seasons four through six, acting alongside Hollywood vet Viola Davis. On the show, the actor played lawyer-in-training Gabriel Maddox — a role that Flynn took seriously in terms of representing for other Afro-Latinos on television. During an interview with Baller Alert, Flynn shared that he learned a lot while working with Davis on the show, but the biggest lesson from her that he still carries with him is embracing his imperfections.
"I learned from her that it's really not super important to be perfect," he said. "I thought you really had to be perfect to do this line of work, and the interesting thing is actually the opposite." He went on to say that while he would stress over certain scenes in the show, Davis would handle "everything with grace" and almost made it look "effortless."
