After several years as a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' writer and cast member (from 1990 to 1995 <ref>That's from the middle of season 16 to the end of season 20</ref>), '''Adam Sandler''' went on to star in several Hollywood feature films that grossed over US$100 million at the box office and remains as a major box office draw. He is best known for his comedic roles, though he has [[Tom Hanks Syndrome|ventured into more dramatic territory with acclaim]].
His characters usually fall under the [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], but also with a healthy dose of [[Man Child]] with a serious need to grow up. Realizing that he can only take that role so far, he has sought to expand his range into a couple of dramas. Otherwise he takes much of the [[Deadpan Snarker]] behavior but adds some more complex motivation behind it.
Line 39:
* ''[[Just Go with It]]'' (2011)
* ''[[Jack and Jill]]'' (2011)
* ''[[That's My Boy (2012 film)|That's My Boy]]'' (2012)
* ''[[Hotel Transylvania (film)|Hotel Transylvania]]'' (2012)
* ''[[Grown Ups 2]]'' (2013)
* ''[[Pixels]]'' (2015)
* ''[[Hotel Transylvania 2]]'' (2015)
* ''[[Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation]]'' (2018)
* ''[[Uncut Gems]]'' (2019) - yet another dramatic role.
* ''[[Hubie Halloween]]'' (2020)
