Adam Sandler is best known for his outrageous comedies like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and The Waterboy — goofy, quotable classics that helped define a generation of humor. But behind the slapstick and silliness lies a surprisingly powerful dramatic actor. With unforgettable performances in Uncut Gems, Punch-Drunk Love, and Reign Over Me, Adam Sandler has proven that he’s more than capable of serious, emotionally gripping work.
