Where it started
He was born September 9th, 1966, in New York City. Raised in Manchester, New Hampshire as 1 of 4 children he was the class clown. However, he never aspired to be a comedian until age 17 when his brother encouraged him to perform at a Boston comedy club. -
He started getting it going.
Sandler continued to perform after he left Boston to attend New York University. After graduation, he became a regular on MTV's game show, Remote Control. In 1989, he starred in his first film, Going Overboard. He was later spotted by Saturday Night Live cast member Dennis Miller who got him a job on the show, which lasted from 1990 to 1995. It was there that Sandler created such characters as Cajun Man, Opera Man and Canteen Boy. -
Outside Acting.
In addition to his acting, Sandler has made several comedy albums. His first was the Grammy-nominated They're All Gonna Laugh At You , which became an instant hit and expanded his fan base among young people through offensive songs and sketches. -
A whole lot more films.
Through juvenile antics and sometimes offensive stunts, Sandler kept loyal fans laughing throughout the '90s. His first title film role came in 1995 with him and Billy Madison. Numerous films followed, including one of my favorites Happy Gilmore in 1996, The Wedding Singer co-starring Drew Barrymore and The Water Boy in 1998, Big Daddy in 1999, and Little Nicky in 2000. -
Not just Comedy.
In 2002, Sandler co-starred with Winona Ryder in Mr. Deeds and the critically acclaimed Punch-Drunk Love opposite Emily Watson. The following year he starred opposite Jack Nicholson in the hit comedy Anger Management. Sandler reteamed with Barrymore for another romantic comedy 50 First Dates which fared well at the box office. Taking a more dramatic turn, he starred the dramedy Spanglish as a husband experiencing trouble with his wife and developing a relationship to his housekeeper . -
One of his latest non-comedy movie.
He took on the role of a man who lost his family in the September 11th terrorist attacks in Reign Over Me. Through an accidental meeting with an old friend, Sandler's character began to rebuild his shattered life. Sandler earned some positive reviews for his performance with Variety calling him "compelling" and "excellent." -
Back to comedy
