Adam Sandler

One of the most endearing goofballs to ever grace the stages of Saturday Night Live, affectionately offensive funnyman Adam Sandler has often been cited as the writer/performer who almost single-handedly rescued the long-running late-night television staple when the chips were down and it appeared to have run its course.
It may come as no surprise that Sandler was a shameless class clown in school. Sandler eventually realized his potential when at the age of 17 he took the stage at an amateur comedy competition. A natural, the aspiring comedian nurtured his talents while attending New York University With early appearances on The Cosby Show and the MTV game show Remote Control providing the increasingly busy Sandler with a loyal following, an early feature role coincided with his "discovery" by SNL cast member Dennis Miller at an L.A. comedy club.
It wasn't until SNL producers took Miller's praise to heart and hired him as writer that Sandler's talents were truly set to shine. Frequent appearances as Opera Man and Canteen Boy soon elevated him to player status, and it wasn't long before Sandler was the toast of the SNL cast in the mid-'90s. While appearing in SNL and sharpening his feature skills, Sandler released the Grammy-nominated "They're All Gonna Laugh at You" which proved the most appropriate title imaginable as his career began to soar. The album found Sandler gaining footing as an artist independent of SNL and fueled his desire to strike out on his own. Sandler's loyal and devoted fan base proved strong supporters of such early solo feature efforts as Billy Madison (1996) and, especially, Happy Gilmore (1996).
His success continued with The Waterboy (1998), and The Wedding Singer (1998).
As the decade rolled on, Sandler also appeared in the action-oriented Bulletproof even more affectionate Big_Daddy (1999). In 2002, Sandler starred in a re-imagining of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, titled simply Mr. Deeds.
The early 2000s also saw Sandler attempting to branch out in a number of unusual directions, which included the animated 8 Crazy Nights (2002), punch-Drunk Love (2002 and Spanglish (2004). Sandler continued to sustain his popularity with a steady stream of crowd-pleasing star vehicles throughout the early 2000s. 2002's self-produced Sandler vehicle Anger Management, 50 First Dates and The Longest Yard all made box office gold.
In 2006, Sandler starred in yet another hit: Click, a surrealistic comedy directed by Frank Coraci. The film was a big hit and, having spent the past few years playing it safe, Sandler decided it was a good time to take another chance. He signed on to star with Don Cheadle in the 2007 drama Reign Over Me. The critics weren't as enamored with this dramatic attempt as they were with Punch-Drunk Love, but Sandler was mostly well received even when the film wasn't. Always tempering his risks with more predictable career moves, the actor next signed on to appear alongside King of Queens star Kevin James in the buddy movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, a comedy about two straight firefighters who pretend to be a gay couple to receive domestic partner benefits.
