Like Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider's big break came when he joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" in 1990. For the next four years, he built his reputation as a character comedian on the show, and eventually, that translated to bigger roles in films and TV series, including "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," "Judge Dredd," and "Down Periscope."
By the late 1990s, Sandler was bringing his friend and former "SNL" co-star along for the ride with a series of roles that allowed Schneider to show up, do a funny voice, and leave a lasting impression. The first of their films together was "The Waterboy," in which Schneider played a dirty guy from town who used his catchphrase, "You can do it!" to punctuate various comedic moments.
Though he's worked on other projects since, including his own comedies "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," "The Animal," and "The Hot Chick," Schneider is perhaps still best known today for his frequent collaborations with Sandler. Since "The Waterboy," he's made appearances in everything from "Big Daddy" to "50 First Dates" to "The Longest Yard." He most recently appeared with Sandler in "Hubie Halloween," and his latest film was a collaboration with Sandlers' pal Kevin James in "Home Team."
