Adam Richard Sandler was born September 9, 1966 in Brooklyn, New York, to Judith (Levine), a teacher at a nursery school, and Stanley Alan Sandler, an electrical engineer. He is of Russian Jewish descent. At 17, he took his first step towards becoming a stand-up comedian when he spontaneously took the stage at a Boston comedy club. He found he was a natural comic. He nurtured his talent while at New York University (graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1991) by performing regularly in clubs and at universities. During his freshman year, he snagged a recurring role as the Huxtable family's friend Smitty on Cosby Show (1984). While working at a comedy club in L.A., he was "discovered" by Dennis Miller, who recommended him to Saturday Night Live (1975) producer Lorne Michaels and told him that Sandler had a big talent. This led to his being cast in the show in 1990, which he also wrote for in addition to performing. After Saturday Night Live (1975), Sandler went on to the movies, starring in such hit comedies as Radio Rebels (1994), Happy Gilmore (1996), Billy Madison (1995) and Big Daddy (1999). He has also starred in Les aventures de Mister Deeds (2002) alongside Winona Ryder; Les 8 folles nuits d'Adam Sandler (2002), an animated movie about the Jewish festival of Chanukah; and Punch-drunk love - Ivre d'amour (2002). He also writes and produces many of his own films and has composed songs for several of them, including Demain on se marie ! (1998). Sandler has had several of his songs placed on the "Billboard" charts, including the classic "The Chanukah Song".
