Jared Sandler was born on July 11, 1993 in Manchester, New Hampshire, though he now works out of Los Angeles and New York. He is the nephew of comedy legend Adam Sandler, and first cousin to Adam's two daughters, Sadie and Sunny. Uncle Adam must have gotten Jared hooked on the acting life early, because at the ripe old age of six, Jared Sandler made his first on-screen appearance in one of the most successful films of his uncle's long career, 1999's Big Daddy.

After that, Adam tapped his nephew again to provide the voice of "Dreidel Kid" in the animated holiday flick Eight Crazy Nights. By the time he reached his teen years, Jared had officially joined the Happy Madison crew, landing roles in 2006's The Benchwarmers and 2013's Grown Ups 2.

Jared Sandler never completely left the Happy Madison life behind. Since Grown Ups 2, he's appeared in several more of his uncle's projects — including two critically panned outings, Pixels and The Ridiculous 6 — but by 2013, Jared had caught the stand-up bug and started cultivating his own independent career.
