Adam Sandler is now a name synonymous with comedy in Hollywood. He has worked in a plethora of comic movies like – Billy, Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, 51 First Dates, Grown-Ups, and so many more. Sandler working in any other genre besides comedy was a shock for the audience and it happened with his role in the movie Punch– Drunk Love. His role in this movie was very emotional and he was widely praised for it. He then moved on to action roles with films like - Uncut Gems, thus breaking his typecast as a comic actor.
