Adam+Sandler

The actor I have chosen to write about is Adam Sandler. A “good” actor to me is someone who exhibits great acting skills and is proficient in all areas of acting. I like Adam Sandler because I’ve seen/liked a lot of his work from with his role on //Saturday Night Live// to his stand up specials, and all of his movies as well. Having seen Adam’s work in many of his movies, I have come to like him as an actor very much. He is able to bring out the emotions and the laughter in any scene that his characters require. I think he very much deserves even more major roles near future. To me he meets all the conditions on being a “good” actor throughout all of his work. The only criticism of Adam’s work is that sometimes he doesn’t stay focused in character. By this I mean that the comedian in him often over takes the role. Other than that there is nothing but good things to say about him. That is probably a part of the reason he has won two people’s choice award and been nominated for two Golden Globe awards. Adam has also donated lots of money to charity. In 2007, Sandler made a $1 million donation to the Boys and Girls Club in his hometown, Manchester, New Hampshire. In conclusion, Adam Sandler is a household name all across America and even worldwide. He is one of the funniest actors/comedians in today’s society. Adam has brought laughter to just about everybody who has seen his work. To me these are all reasons why he is such a “good” actor. [|Sandler link] **__Bad Actor __** For my “bad” actor I have chosen Rob Schneider. A “bad” actor to me is someone who does not show good acting skills and does not display talent. Rob Schneider is supposed to be a comedian and normally plays comedic roles, however I have never found him to be funny at all. This is a main reason I have chosen him as my bad actor**.** The way I discovered Rob Schneider is through Adam Sandler. Rob and Adam often play a very minor character in each other’s respective movies. Noticing his small parts in Adam’s movies, I decided to watch some of Rob’s major roles. I was surprised how funny he could be in small roles, but dreadfully unfunny in lead roles. Both Deuce Bigalow movies were disasters and I found very little humor in either. Rob’s best work was in //Grownups// and I am lead to believe that was because out of the four major cast members he had the smallest part plus Sandler made the movie funny on his own. If I had to critique Rob Schneider’s work, I would tell him an old saying: “Less is more”. This describes how he needs to keep his acting career in my eyes. Usually his minor roles in Adam Sandler movies are hilarious and he plays those roles very well. However, he can’thandlea lead role on his own. There is a reason he has won Razzie awards, and it is time he realized this. [|Picture link]
