Adam Sandler Early Life
On September 9, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, Adam Sandler entered the world. When Adam was six years old, his family uprooted and settled in Manchester, New Hampshire. Graduated from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University in 1988. Adam’s professional acting career kicked out before he even finished high school, with guest spots on shows like The Cosby Program and the MTV game show Remote Control.
After finishing school, he began getting bit parts in movies here and there, including the 1989 feature Going Overboard. It was at about this time that he started touring the country with his stand-up routine. After one of his performances in Los Angeles, he caught the attention of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update host Dennis Miller. Miller advocated for Sandler to SNL’s creator/executive producer Lorne Michaels.
Adam joined Saturday Night Live in 1990 as a writer. He became a regular the next year and became well-known for playing a wide range of roles. Adam kept working as a film actor even when the TV show wasn’t airing. Both Coneheads (1993) and Airheads (1994) featured him as a cast member. His first film in which he played the lead role was the 1995 classic Billy Madison. With a budget of under $10 million, Billy Madison became a $26 million success.
Adam was let go from SNL in 1995, along with cast mate Chris Farley. Though the producers didn’t see it coming or offer an explanation, they now have more time to focus on their film careers. In the next decade, Adam was in many more comedies that would go on to become classics thanks to Adam Sandler, such as Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Big Daddy, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, 50 First Dates, and The Longest Yard.
His roles in movies like Spanglish and Punch-Drunk-Love marked his departure from comedy. Adam not only directed but also authored and produced a lot of them. Through his Happy Madison Production company, Adam has produced several movie that he did not appear in at all, notably franchises for friends Rob Schneider, David Spade and Nick Swardson.
