Does Adam Sandler inspire you?

Adam Sandler is known for starring in comedies where he’s playing the fool, but the business behind the films is far from stupid.

The actor launched Happy Madison Productions in 1999.

The production’s name combines the titles of two of his most iconic films: Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.

Since then, Happy Madison Productions has produced almost every comedy film Sandler has been a part of. 

Sandler inspires me because he took his unique brand of comedy and transformed it into a flourishing business.

He’s able to cater to his core audience while still retaining the flexibility of going against type, like starring in drama films such as 2019’s Uncut Gems.
