A Very Funny Person

Adam Sandler

Hailing from Brooklyn, Adam Sandler (b. 1966) started his acting career on the Cosby Show in the 1980s, but made a real name for himself on Saturday Night Live, alongside Mike Myers and David Space. After starring in some of the most successful comedies in recent history, Sandler created Happy Madison Productions in 1999. The first movie he released under this label was the classic Deuce Bigalow (with proud half-Jew Rob Schneider, who recently said he’d never work with Mel Gibson, even if offered the lead role in Passion of the Christ 2). Sandler has produced and starred in some of the highest-grossing comedies of all time (both Big Daddy and The Waterboy are in the Top 20!) His favourite holiday is, not surprisingly, Chanukah.

Jewish Wisdom

Humour uplifts the mind from a state of constricted consciousness to a state of expanded consciousness.
