Biography
A genial, laid-back stand-up comic and graduate of NBC's "Saturday Night Live",
Brooklyn-born Adam Sandler was a class clown in Manchester, New Hampshire after
his family moved there when he was six. Sandler has gone on record to say that
Rodney Dangerfield, Cheech & Chong and repeated viewings of the movie Caddyshack
(1980) were his inspirations, thus it's not surprising that he made his first
forays into performing comedy while an undergraduate at NYU. While still at
school, he also landed a recurring role as Theo's friend Smitty on the NBC
sitcom "The Cosby Show". After dropping out of college and settling in L.A.,
Sandler hit the local comedy clubs including the Improv, where "Saturday Night
Live" alumnus Dennis Miller discovered him. Miller recommended Sandler to Lorne
Michaels, who hired him as a writer for the series in 1990. Within a year,
Sandler started to make onscreen appearances.
