Adam Sandler regularly performed at comedy clubs at 17 years old and quickly became popular. During one of these comedy shows, he was discovered by Dennis Miller, who suggested he should try Saturday Night Live, where he became a star.
Sandler’s film debut came in Going Overboard in 1989. He followed that with supporting roles in movies for a few years, and then he took over leading roles starting with Billy Madison in 1995.
He has since made dozens of movies, writing or producing essentially every movie he has ever been. Sandler has made some serious films, but it is a comedy that he is known for.
