Early Life

Rob Schneider, whose full name is Robert Michael Schneider, entered the world on October 31, 1963, in San Francisco, California. Growing up in the nearby suburb of Pacifica, California, he was brought up by his parents, Pilar (née Monroe) and Marvin Schneider. His mother was a former kindergarten teacher and school board president while his father worked as a real estate broker. Schneider has an older brother, John, who is involved in production. He comes from a diverse heritage, with a father of Jewish descent, a Catholic mother, and a maternal grandmother originating from the Philippines. After completing high school at Terra Nova High School in 1982, he pursued further education at San Francisco State University.

During his high school years, Schneider began his journey into stand-up comedy, often opening for the local band Head On, which his older brother managed. Following high school, he continued to perform in various nightclubs around the Bay Area, including the Holy City Zoo and The Other Café, and even appeared as a guest on local radio shows. After an opening act for comedian Dennis Miller in 1987, Schneider earned a spot on HBO’s 13^th Annual Young Comedians special, hosted by Miller. The exposure from this special opened the door for him to join NBC’s late-night sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) as a writer in 1988.

However, Schneider’s writing role at “Saturday Night Live” was brief. He swiftly transitioned to the cast, evolving from a featured player to a full cast member. Between 1990 and 1994, his notable characters included “Tiny Elvis,” “Orgasm Guy,” the irritating office worker Richard Laymer, “The Richmeister,” “Carlo” from the Il Cantore Restaurant sketches, and “The Sensitive Naked Man.” In addition to live performances on the show, he also featured in the video release “The Bad Boys of Saturday Night Live” alongside fellow SNL comedians Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Chris Farley.

After leaving SNL in 1994, Schneider took on supporting roles in various films such as “Surf Ninjas,” “Judge Dredd,” “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “Demolition Man,” and “Down Periscope.” He also had a recurring role on the TV series “Coach,”In 1996, alongside Ron Eldard and Justine Bateman, he co-starred in the NBC sitcom “Men Behaving Badly.” Originally a British series, the version featuring Schneider was an American remake that lasted for two seasons.

He moved on to star in various films, including “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” (1999), which he co-wrote and that remarkably grossed $92 million globally against a $17 million budget, despite receiving harsh critical feedback; its sequel, “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo” (2005), did not fare well with critics or audiences and received a nomination for Worst Picture at the 25^th Golden Raspberry Awards; “The Animal” (2001), which he also co-wrote; “The Hot Chick” (2002), again co-written by Schneider; and “The Benchwarmers” (2006), produced by Adam Sandler, featuring David Spade and Jon Heder. He made brief appearances in films such as “Muppets from Space” (1999) and “Around the World in 80 Days” (2004), portrayed the title character in the CBS comedy “Rob,” which was loosely inspired by his life experiences, and starred in the Netflix sitcom “Real Rob,” depicting events from his life and showcasing his real-life wife, Patricia.

Schneider’s collaborations with fellow SNL alum Adam Sandler extend beyond “The Benchwarmers.” He has appeared in numerous Sandler films, including “The Waterboy” (1998), “Little Nicky” (2000), “50 First Dates” (2004), “The Longest Yard” (2005), “Bedtime Stories” (2008), “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” (2007), “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” (2008), and “Grown Ups” (2010).

Beyond acting and screenwriting, Schneider has also ventured into directing.
