Some of the most hooligan films on the current American scene are starring Rob Schneider, comedian, actor, screenwriter and producer, who with a very personal comedy, The Great Stan (The Prison Bully) , is doing his first job as a director.
Robert Michael Schneider came into the world on October 31, 1963 in San Francisco and is the youngest of five siblings, the children of a real estate agent named Marvin, and a Filipino teacher named Pilar. He began in the artistic world demonstrating his comic vision on radio spots and on television programs such as ‘Saturday Night Live’. Around this time, in 1988, he married actress London King, with whom he had a daughter, but their relationship barely lasted a year.
The big hit , Home Alone 2: Lost in New York or Rustic in Moneyland were his first appearances in the cinema, with small roles. It was clear that Rob Schneider was very comfortable in the realm of comedy, but he did not want to pass up the opportunity to touch the science fiction genre with Judge Dredd , opposite Sylvester Stallone ; one of action, In the eye of the hurricane , with Vin Diesel , or the family, Pinocchio. the legend .
Hereinafter, Cool Daddy , I’m Made of an Animal , This Body Is Not Mine! o Gigoló (1999) and its sequel from 2005, have been his most remembered films, where little by little he was gaining space as the protagonist. In all of them, Schneider laughs at himself and exudes a somewhat vulgar and rude humor. He claims to be inspired by the comedy of Richard Pryor ( Superman III ), Gene Wilder ( Don’t yell at me I don’t see you ) or Peter Sellers ( Red phone we fly to Moscow ).
He has a great friendship with actor Adam Sandler and has worked with him on A Great Dad , Little Nicky , 50 First Dates (where he also worked as a producer), or The Bonebreaker Clan . His brother John is his manager and her little daughter, Elle Schneider has followed her father’s vocation by participating in some of Rob’s films. Even her own mother, who is outside the world of cinema, has also collaborated as a cameo, saying some phrase in certain tapes of her son. In 2002 the actor married Helena Schneider, a relationship that he maintains to this day.
Rob Schneider has recently declared that ‘I will not make any more silly movies, I say goodbye to comedy’. With The Great Stan , a film in which he shares the screen with the karateka David Carradine , and with whom he was injured on more than one occasion, it seems that he has filled his quota with humorous films, and now he seems to be interested in more serious projects, related to problems social and human. In fact, he has stated that he would love to work with a Spanish director, Fernando León de Aranoa ( Los lunes al sol , Barrio ), and he has a drama in mind, although for all this we will still have to wait.
