Adam Richard Sandler (born September 9, 1966) is an American comedian and actor.
Primarily a comedic leading actor in film and television, his accolades include
nominations for three Grammy Awards, five Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe
Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2023, Sandler was awarded the Mark
Twain Prize for American Humor. A cultural icon of Generation X, Sandler became a
staple of American comedy, television, and film in the waning years of the 20th century.

Sandler was a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night
Live from 1990 to 1995. He returned to Saturday Night Live as a host in 2019 earning
a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. He has starred in Hollywood comedy films that
cumulatively grossed over $2 billion worldwide.[2][3] Sandler had an estimated net worth of
$420 million in 2020, and signed a new four-movie deal with Netflix worth over $250
million.[4]

Sandler's comedic roles include Billy Madison (1995), Happy Gilmore (1996), The
Waterboy (1998), The Wedding Singer (1998), Big Daddy (1999), Mr. Deeds (2002), 50
First Dates (2004), The Longest Yard (2005), Click (2006), Grown Ups (2010), Just Go
with It (2011), Grown Ups 2 (2013), Blended (2014), Murder Mystery (2019) and Hubie
Halloween (2020). He has also taken dramatic roles in Punch-Drunk
Love (2002), Reign Over Me (2007), The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), Uncut
Gems (2019),[5] and Hustle (2022), with the latter three ranked as major career
highlights.[6] He also voiced Davey, Whitey, and Eleanore in Eight Crazy Nights (2002)
and Dracula in the first three films of the Hotel Transylvania franchise (2012–2018).

Several Sandler comedies, such as Jack and Jill (2011), have been panned, resulting in
nine Golden Raspberry Awards and 37 Raspberry Award nominations, more than any
actor except Sylvester Stallone.

Early life
Sandler was born in Brooklyn, New York, on September 9, 1966,[7] to Judith "Judy"
(née Levine), a nursery school teacher, and Stanley Sandler, an electrical engineer.
[7]
His family is Jewish and descends from Jewish Russian immigrants on both sides.[8][9]
[10]
Sandler grew up in Manchester, New Hampshire, after his family moved there at
when he was six years old.[11] He attended Manchester Central High School. As a teen,
Sandler was in BBYO, a Jewish youth group. He graduated from New York
University's Tisch School of the Arts in 1988.[12]

1987–1995: Early television and film roles
In 1987, Sandler played Theo Huxtable's friend Smitty on The Cosby Show and the
Stud Boy or Trivia Delinquent on the MTV game show Remote Control. After his film
debut in Going Overboard in 1989, Sandler performed in comedy clubs, having first
taken the stage at his brother's urging when he was 17. He was discovered by
comedian Dennis Miller, who caught Sandler's act in Los Angeles and recommended
him to Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels. Sandler was hired as a writer
for SNL in 1990, and became a featured player the following year. He made a name for
himself by performing amusing original songs on the show, including "The Thanksgiving
Song" and "The Chanukah Song".[13] Sandler told Conan O'Brien on The Tonight
Show that NBC fired him and Chris Farley from the show in 1995. Sandler used his
firing as part of his monologue when he returned in 2019 to host the show.[14][15]

In 1993, Adam Sandler appeared in the film Coneheads with Farley, David Spade, Dan
Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, and Jane Curtin. In 1994, he co-starred
in Airheads with Brendan Fraser and Steve Buscemi.

1995–2007: Box office success and Happy Madison founding

Sandler at 2002 Cannes Film Festival

Sandler starred in Billy Madison (1995) playing a grown man repeating grades 1–12 to
earn back his father's respect and the right to inherit his father's multimillion-dollar hotel
empire. The film was successful at the box office despite negative reviews. He followed
this film with Bulletproof (1996), and the financially successful comedies Happy
Gilmore (1996) and The Wedding Singer (1998). He was initially cast in the bachelor–
party–themed comedy/thriller Very Bad Things (1998) but had to back out due to his
involvement in The Waterboy (1998), one of his first hits.

Sandler formed his film production company, Happy Madison Productions,[16] in 1999,
first producing fellow SNL alumnus Rob Schneider's film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.
The company has produced most of Sandler's subsequent films to date, and is on the
Sony/Columbia Pictures lot in Culver City, California. Most of its films have received
negative reviews from critics, with three considered among the worst ever made[17] yet
most have performed well at the box office.

Although his earlier commercially successful films did not receive favorable critical
attention, Sandler started to receive more positive reviews beginning with Punch-Drunk
Love in 2002. Punch-Drunk Love's writer and director, Paul Thomas Anderson, had an
"obsession-level" love for Sandler's previous movies and wrote the film with him in mind.
[18]
Sandler was intimidated to work with Anderson upon viewing his previous
film Magnolia (2000), but these fears were alleviated upon receiving the script from
Anderson.[19] Roger Ebert's review of Punch-Drunk Love concluded that Sandler had
been wasted in earlier films with poorly written scripts and characters with no
development. Ebert noted that Sandler's character still maintained the "childlike, love-
starved" persona from his previous films, but was shown in a new light as the "key to all
Adam Sandler films."[20] Sandler was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor
– Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his performance.[19] The film marked the
beginning of Sandler moving outside the genre of slapstick comedy to take on more
serious roles, such as Mike Binder's Reign Over Me (2007), a drama about a man who
loses his entire family in the September 11 attacks and then struggles to rekindle a
friendship with his old college roommate (Don Cheadle).

2007–2016: Later success and final theatrical films
Sandler starred alongside friend Kevin James in the film I Now Pronounce You Chuck
and Larry (2007), and headlined You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008). The latter was
written by Sandler, Judd Apatow, and Robert Smigel, and directed by Dennis Dugan.
That same year, Sandler starred along with Keri Russell and English comedian Russell
Brand in Adam Shankman's children's fantasy film Bedtime Stories (2008), as a
stressed hotel maintenance worker whose bedtime stories he reads to his niece and
nephew begin to come true. It marked Sandler's first family film and first film under
the Disney banner.[21]

In 2009, Sandler starred in Apatow's third directorial feature, Funny People, a comedy
drama about a famous comedian (Sandler) with a terminal illness. The film was
released on July 31, 2009.[22] After its release, Funny People and Punch-Drunk
Love were cited in the June 2010 announcement that Sandler was one of 135 people
(including 20 actors) invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[23]

Sandler in Berlin in 2009

In 2010, Sandler appeared in Grown Ups, alongside Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob
Schneider, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, and Maya Rudolph. Sandler
and Dickie Roberts scribe Fred Wolf wrote the script and Dennis Dugan directed.
[24]
Sandler's later comedy films, including Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2, received largely
negative reviews.[25] Reviewing the latter, critic Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles
Times remarked that Sandler had become the antithesis of Judd Apatow; he was
instead "the white Tyler Perry: smart enough to know better, savvy enough to do it
anyway, lazy enough not to care."[26] The next year, Sandler starred with Jennifer
Aniston in the romantic comedy film Just Go with It.[27] He also voiced a capuchin
monkey in Kevin James's Zookeeper, released on July 8, 2011. In 2012, he starred
in That's My Boy, as a man who fathered a son (Andy Samberg) with his teacher (Eva
Amurri) in high school. In 2013, he guest starred in the Disney Channel Original
Series Jessie as himself in the episode "Punched Dumped Love". He
and Jessie star Cameron Boyce had worked together in Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2;
Sandler's 2020 film Hubie Halloween was dedicated to Boyce's memory. Sandler next
reunited with Drew Barrymore in the Warner Bros. romantic comedy Blended, which
was filmed in South Africa and released on May 23, 2014.

In October 2014, Netflix announced a four-movie deal with Sandler and Happy Madison
Productions.[28] Also that year, Sandler co-starred in the drama film Men, Women &
Children, directed by Jason Reitman.[29][30] He was considered for the voice of Rocket
Raccoon in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy but Bradley Cooper was cast instead.[31]

In 2015, Sandler released his last theatrical film, Pixels, based on French director
Patrick Jean's 2010 short film of the same name, before transitioning into a distribution
deal with Netflix.

2016–present: Transition to Netflix

Sandler's first original film for Netflix was the Western comedy film The Ridiculous 6.
Despite being universally panned by critics,[32] on January 6, 2016, it was announced by
Netflix that the film had been viewed more times in 30 days than any other movie in
Netflix history.[33] Sandler also starred in another Netflix film in 2016, titled The Do-Over.

Sandler starred in the 2017 Netflix film Sandy Wexler, in which he plays a talent
manager who falls in love with one of his clients. He returned to dramatic territory in
2017 with Noah Baumbach's family drama The Meyerowitz Stories. In the film, Sandler
plays Danny Meyerowitz, who is unemployed and separated from his wife. His
experiencing dysfunctional relationships with his brother (Ben Stiller), his sister
(Elizabeth Marvel), and his father (Dustin Hoffman). The film premiered in competition
for the Palme d'Or at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival where his performance received
favorable notices from critics.[5] Peter Debruge, film critic for Variety, wrote of his
performance, "With no shtick to fall back on, Sandler is forced to act, and it's a glorious
thing to watch".[34]

In 2018, Sandler starred in the Netflix film The Week Of alongside Chris Rock. He also
starred in a Netflix stand-up special 100% Fresh, which was part of his company's
Netflix deal and marked his first stand-up film in over two decades. The special was
directed by longtime collaborator Steven Brill, while portions of the special was filmed by
Paul Thomas Anderson, which marked his first project with Sandler since Punch-Drunk
Love sixteen years prior.[35]

On May 4, 2019, Sandler made his first appearance as host of Saturday Night Live,
ending the episode with a tribute to his friend and fellow former cast member Chris
Farley.[36] Sandler received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a
Comedy Series nomination for his hosting stint. In June 2019, he starred
alongside Jennifer Aniston in the Netflix film Murder Mystery, which broke the record for
the biggest opening weekend in the company's history.[37]

In December 2019, Sandler starred in the crime thriller drama Uncut Gems, directed by
the Safdie brothers.[38] The movie and Sandler's acting received critical acclaim and
many end-of-year awards from critics, who noted this role as a career best for Sandler,
for which he earned the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.[39][40]

he received a nomination for a Screen Actors Guild Award.[44] On March 19, 2023,
Sandler was awarded the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Many of Sandler's friends and fellow performers, including Ben Stiller, Conan
O'Brien, Dana Carvey, and Judd Apatow, spoke at the event.[45]

Sandler has been referenced multiple times in various media, including in the TV
shows The Simpsons, in the episode "Monty Can't Buy Me Love",[46] in the Family
Guy episode "Stew-Roids",[47] and in the South Park episode "You're Getting Old".[48] He
was also referenced in the video game Half-Life: Opposing Force.
[49]
The HBO series Animals episode "The Trial" features a mock court case to decide
whether Sandler or Jim Carrey is a better comedian.

In 2021, Vogue named Sandler the year's fashion icon for popularizing a "grocery-run
look", characterized by oversized T-shirts, XXL pants, and Nike sneakers dubbed
as "Adam Sandler style".[50] Menswear brand Old Jewish Men sells a line of basketball
shorts inspired by the style.[51] Speaking on the title with Esquire, Sandler remarked: "It
took a while. I was working that angle for years. For a while I was like, 'Please accept
me and the way I dress.' And 30 years later, they finally came around." [52]
