Kevin Nealon

Supported Saturday Night Live (1975) buddy Adam Sandler in many of his film vehicles, including Happy Gilmore (1996), La mejor de mis bodas (1998) and El Hijo del Diablo (2000).

(2007, on Grandma's Boy) I read the script and I thought it was kind of... Well, I wasn't sure it was the type of film that I wanted to do. There were scenes where they were, you know, masturbating on the grandmother and stuff. [Laughs.] I initially passed on it, and then (Adam) Sandler called me and said, "Nealon, you sure don't want to do this film? I just want to make sure that you really think hard about it, because if it's not a good film, no one's gonna see it, but if it is a good film, I'd hate for you to miss out." I figured he was right, so I did it. I don't think it did that well in the theaters, but since it went to video, I have more and more people coming up to me telling me how much they love Grandma's Boy.
