Adam Sandler (born September 9, 1965) is an American actor, comedian, producer, musician and composer from Brooklyn, New York.

In the late 1980s, Sandler portrayed "Smitty" on The Cosby Show (1985-1989).

Sandler started performing in comedy clubs by spontaneously taking the stage at a club in Boston. He was then discovered by comedian Dennis Miller[?], who caught Sandler's act in Los Angeles. Dennis immediately recommended Sandler to Saturday Night Live producer, Lorne Michaels. Sandler was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live in 1990 and became a featured player the following year. Sandler quickly made a name for himself by performing amusing original songs on the show.

Sandler graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree[?] in 1991. On Sunday, June 22, 2003, he wed model Jackie Titone[1] (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Titone,%20Jackie), who he met on the set of Big Daddy.
