A chance encounter between Adam Sandler and Dan Patrick at a Knicks game led to decades of friendship and collaboration.
Beginning with “The Waterboy” in 1998, Patrick — the iconic sportscaster who was a fixture at ESPN and later hosted NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” coverage — has appeared in more than 10 of Sandler’s movies.
Peter Dante, Oliver Hudson, Dan Patrick, Adam Sandler, Maya Rudolph and Colin Quinn attend the That’s My Boy Boston Premiere at Regal Fenway Theater on June 9, 2012 in Boston, Massachusetts.When Sandler told him that Olbermann was supposed to be in “Happy Gilmore”, Patrick responded, “Well, the next time you need someone from ESPN, I’m your guy.”
“He’s so much fun to work with because he wants everybody to have a good time. He’s been way too generous.” “That’s when I started to panic a little bit, because normally you’re on-stage with people that you know from being around Sandler and his movies, but Jennifer Anniston and Nicole Kidman had no idea who I was — other than they knew I wasn’t an actor after a little while,” Patrick laughed.
