Besides being his biggest fan, Adam Sandler's mom Judy Sandler has also appeared in several of his films in cameo roles. The iconic comedic actor first rose to prominence in the 1990s as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and he soon became a bona fide movie star. Massive hits like Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer made Sandler a household name, and he also proved to be a box office draw with many of his movies raking in millions. Despite his overwhelming popularity and celebrity, Sandler has remained a dedicated family man, and he has never hidden his love for his mom.

Judy Sandler is not a movie star like her famous son, but he has ushered her into his world by allowing her to get her 15 minutes of fame in cameo roles. Adam Sandler's family members appear in his movies quite frequently, but Judy Sandler's cameos are more of a son's tribute than an attempt to make her a star. She has often expressed support for her son's impressive career, and he has even brought her along to several of his movie premieres (via People) so that she could bask in the accomplishments he could have never achieved without her support.

Judy Sandler's Acting Roles

Much like other filmmakers who often put their family members in their movies, Adam Sandler called upon his supportive mother Judy Sandler to help make his 2002 animated film 8 Crazy Nights even more authentic. Making her big screen debut, Judy Sandler provided the voice of Davey's mom and got to play alongside her son who voiced Davey. She returned to the big screen a few years later in 2007's I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry where she appeared in a role simply titled Brooklyn Woman.

Once again providing a voice for one of her son's movies, Judy performed additional voice roles for 2012's Hotel Transylvania. Seemingly getting the knack of appearing onscreen, Judy Sandler also played the role of the Little League Announcer's Grandma in 2014's Blended, one of the many collaborations between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. Finally, she appeared in the background as Carousel Grandma in the 2017 biographical film Sandy Wexler, a film that allowed her son to stretch his range as an actor.

Adam Loves His Mom, Judy Sandler - And It Shows

No matter what heights Adam Sandler has reached in his career, he has always been an unrepentant momma's boy and isn't afraid to show it. Sandler has also talked extensively about how important his mother has been to him throughout his life, and in an especially candid interview with 60 Minutes, Sandler offered a tour of his childhood home with Judy Sandler in tow. She expressed how she was his biggest fan, and Sandler was nothing but loving towards his mother. Similarly, many of the characters in his movies have strong relationships with their mothers, even if it goes to silly lengths such as in 1998's The Waterboy.
