Outside of his unique comedy style and humble personality, Adam Sandler is known for frequently collaborating with those close to him on screen, whether it be his family, including his wife, Jackie Sandler, or many real-life friends, like David Spade, Kevin James, and Rob Schneider. Sandler and Schneider met in the late 1980s, as they were both living in Los Angeles and aspiring to become successful comedians and make it in Hollywood, per Screen Rant. By the 1990s, the comedy duo became close friends after starring on “Saturday Night Live” together, and they’ve since shared the screen in over a dozen films.
Schneider’s roles in Sandler movies range from minor ones like Townie in “The Waterboy” to more significant ones, like the reckless, beach-going Ula in “50 First Dates.” While Schneider has starred in his own movies (like “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”), a majority of his films are in the Sandler movie universe. Schneider is arguably most known for starring in “Grown Ups” and “The Ridiculous 6.” Despite Schneider facing backlash from some in recent years due to his public comments regarding COVID vaccine and mask mandates, among other things, he most recently starred alongside Sandler in 2020’s “Hubie Halloween.” He is credited with appearing in 15 movies with his fellow comedian over the years.
