| Biography: |
| |
Born in Brooklyn, New York, on 9
September 1966, it may come as no surprise that
Adam Sandler was a shameless class clown who left
his classmates in stitches and his teachers with
a handful. When he was 17, his brother encouraged
him to take the stage at an amateur comedy competition
and continued to nurture his talents while studying
Fine Arts at New York University.
Sandler made his first appearances on The Cosby
Show and the MTV game show Remote Control, which
was followed by a role as a struggling comedian
in Going Overboard (1989),
Shakes the Clown (1991),
Coneheads (1993), Billy
Madison (1996), and
Happy Gilmore (1996).
After starring as a football superstar in The Waterboy
(1998), Sandler had
his most appealing role in The Wedding Singer (1998),
and continued to expand his character with the action-oriented
Bulletproof (1996)
and the even more affectionate Big Daddy (1999).
In addition to his acting career, Sandler's production
company, Happy Madison, also earned big by producing
such films as Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo (1999),
Little Nicky (2000),
The Animal (2001),
and Joe Dirt (2001).
After appearing in Mr. Deeds (2002),
Sandler returned to the film opposite Jack Nicholson
in Anger Management (2003)
which seemed closer to Sandler's cracked personality
than his previous few films. |
