About Rob Schneider
Born in San Francisco, Rob Schneider’s family is of Filipino and Caucasian descent. His father was Jewish and his mother was Catholic. His mixed background has been a common theme in his comedy acts. Schneider started his stand-up career in high school opening for the popular San Francisco band “Head On,” and was a regular guest on local radio. An opening slot for Dennis Miller garnered him an appearance on HBO’s “13th Annual Young Comedians” special, also hosted by Miller. The special led him to a coveted position as a writer for “Saturday Night Live” in 1988. Schneider swiftly moved from a writer and featured player to a full cast member with a cast that included Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, and the late Chris Farley.
After leaving SNL in 1994, Schneider went to roles in film and television including a starring role in the NBC sitcom “Men Behaving Badly,” and starring roles in the feature films “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,” “The Hot Chick,” “The Animal,” “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow,” and “The Benchwarmers.” “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” has the distinction of being the second-highest grossing DVD in the United States in 2000.
Schneider’s early film roles also include “Judge Dread,” Demolition Man,” Beverly Hillbillies,” and “Down Periscope.” He also co-starred in numerous comedies that were some of the biggest films in the past 20 years, including “Grownups,” “The Waterboy,” “Little Nicky,” “The Longest Yard,” “50 First Dates,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” You Don’t Mess With the Zohan,” and narrated the animated film “8 Crazy Nights.” He also recently appeared in Netflix’s “The Wrong Missy” and the recently released “Hublie Halloween.”
On television, Schneider starred in the CBS comedy “Rob,” loosely based on his real life. In 2015, he produced, directed and starred in “Real Rob,” that followed his life and co-starred his real-life wife, Patricia, and daughter, Miranda, for Netflix. “Real Rob” was a milestone for the comedian as he starred, directed, produced and financed the entire season.
Schneider’s directorial debut was the comedy “Big Stan,” in which he also starred in the title role. In 2010, he released his first comedy album, “Registered Offender,” a collection of audio sketches and songs. That year, Schneider also revived his stand-up career with an international tour and has continued to tour nationally and internationally ever since.
Schneider is currently co-starring in Netflix’s “Home Team,” starring Kevin James, and is embarking on his stand-up comedy tour throughout the summer. In addition, Schneider recently completed production on the film “Daddy Daughter Trip,” which he produced, directed and starred in.
