PEOPLE 
Tags: adam sandler, trivia, comedian, actor, facts, happy gilmore, movies, snl
Adam Richard Sandler is an American comedian, screenwriter, director, producer, actor, and musician. Here's what I know about him; what do you know?
| | Don't try to get a role in one of his movies; he would rather work with friends than with new people as he did in 9 of his movies. |
| | Johnny Depp wannabe? Adam was considered for the role of Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. |
| | In college, several of his acting teachers wrote negative evaluations citing that his inattention gave them the great doubts he would ever succeed as an actor. Good thing they were wrong. |
| | Smart and goofy: in spite of being the class clown, Adam did well in school. |
| | While his father encouraged his sense of humor, his mother helped establish his lifelong interest in music. I think Dad won. |
| | Adam's 1st comedy album They're All Gonna Laugh at You! was nominated for a Grammy and spent more than 100 weeks on Billboard's charts. |
| | Adam performed at the Republican national conference in 2004...hmm how did that go? |
| | Was originally set to star as the taxi driver Max in Collateral but backed out to work on Spanglish. It's ok, they chose an Oscar-winner while Adam made a lousy movie. |
| | No one, but no one, will make a fool of Adam - he never does print interviews and very rarely does television interviews. |
