Rob Schneider

Name: Rob Schneider
Date of Birth: October 31, 1963
Place of Birth: San Francisco, California, USA

Mini-bio: Schneider started his stand-up comedy career shortly after high school. The Pacifica, California native played Bay Area nightclubs such as the Holy City Zoo and the Other Cafe, and was a regular guest...( read more) on local radio programs. After opening a show by comedian Dennis Miller in 1987, Schneider won a slot on HBO's 13th Annual Young Comedians special, which was hosted by Miller. Schneider's appearance on the HBO special led to a position as a writer for NBC's long-running sketch-comedy series Saturday Night Live. He was hired at SNL in 1989, and swiftly graduated from writer and featured player to full cast member. From 1990-1994 at SNL, he played such roles as "Tiny Elvis" and "Orgasm Guy." But his best known recurring character was "Rich" -- an office worker whose desk was stuck beside the photocopier, and who addressed each of his fellow employees with an endless stream of annoying nicknames.

Leaving SNL, Schneider played supporting roles in a series of movies including Judge Dredd, The Beverly Hillbillies, Demolition Man and Down Periscope. He also appeared in a recurring part on the TV series Coach. In 1996, he co-starred in the NBC sit-com Men Behaving Badly, an American take on the hit British series of the same name. The U.S. version ran for two seasons.

Schneider honed a persona that was hapless, but vulnerable and sweet-natured. He has made good use of that guise as the star of feature-film comedies, starting in 1999 with the box-office and video success Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo -- the cheerfully scatological tale of a fish-tank cleaner who incurs a massive debt and is forced to become a "man-whore" with an inept pimp (comedian Eddie Griffin). This was followed by The Animal, about a nebbish who is given animal powers by a mad scientist; The Hot Chick, wherein the brain of a petty thief (Schneider) is mystically switched into the body of a pretty, but mean-spirited high-school cheerleader (Rachel McAdams); and the sequel Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, reuniting Schneider with Griffin. In 2006, Schneider co-starred in the popular, baseball-themed family comedy The Benchwarmers, along with his fellow SNL alumnus David Spade, and Jon Heder of the cult film Napoleon Dynamite.

The 2006 comedy Big Stan -- which stars Schneider as a con artist who must survive a stint in prison -- is the first feature film that he has directed.

Subsequently, Schneider took on his first major dramatic role in the fantasy Juliana and the Medicine Fish, playing a father who is trying to save his troubled fishing lodge while salvaging his relationship with his 12-year-old daughter.

Schneider has appeared in a number of comedies starring Adam Sandler, another SNL alumnus. The comedic characters Schneider plays in these films include an overly enthusiastic Cajun man who utters the catch-phrase "You can do it!”; an amiable Middle Eastern delivery boy; and Sandler’s one-eyed Hawaiian sidekick Ula.

Schneider is also a frequent guest on NBC’s late-night variety program The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Rob Schneider stars in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. Besides his efforts in movies and television, Schneider appeared in the music video for country singer Neil McCoy's "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On," as the song’s title character. Schneider met McCoy while the two went on a USO tour in support of U.S. troops two months after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
