A comic voice with many sides
Adam Sandler is an American actor, comedian and producer born in Brooklyn, New York, on 9 September 1966. His work on Saturday Night Live introduced audiences to a comic voice that later carried into film.

In Spanglish, Sandler plays chef John Clasky, a father navigating tensions within his family. The part places his screen presence in a story about communication, class and relationships across language barriers.
