Say what you want about Adam Sandler's movies - and a lot of people have - he's got 420 million reasons not to care about your opinion. The comic actor's instincts for a box office smash have rarely been wrong even when the critics disagree, and he's got the bank balance to prove it.
Classic golfing comedy (and those are two words you rarely see together) 'Happy Gilmore' set the tone for his future success way back in 1996, and Sandler has never looked back since then. He actually acts as a screenwriter and a producer for many of the films he appears in, maximizing his pay check by not having to split the royalties as many ways as most do. He's also prolific, with over 60 movie credits to his name with IMDB. Like many of his Hollywood comedy contemporaries, Sandler first cut his teeth as a guest star on 'Saturday Night Live'.
