Adam Sandler (born September 9, 1966) is an American actor, comedian, producer, and musician who was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Manchester, New Hampshire.
In the late 1980s, Sandler portrayed "Smitty" on The Cosby Show (1985-1989). He also was a writer for the MTV game show Remote Control, on which he made several featured appearances.
Sandler started performing in comedy clubs by spontaneously taking the stage at a club in Boston. He was then discovered by comedian

NewspapersReview: 'You Don't Mess With the Zohan'
Adam Sandler's new movie is a pretty good scattershot comedy with counterterrorism as its backdrop.

Review:
Given the missed opportunities for sharpening silliness with
satire, it's impossible not to mess with the Zohan. There's a risky
idea in the script cooked up by star Adam Sandler and his
co-writers, Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow: What if Sandler played a
Mossad commando named Zohan who fakes his death and comes to New
York to live his dream of making the world "silky smooth" by
cutting and styling hair? And what if the only job he could get was
working in a Brooklyn salon run by a Palestinian babe (Emmanuelle
Chriqui)?
It's the Middle East crisis played for laughs, and it gets a few
until the movie backs off its bolder notions. That's a shame,
because Sandler, buff, blow-dried and Borat-accented, is clearly
having a ball playing a Jewish superhero. Ditto John Turturro as
Zohan'...
