10. Adam Sandler
Style: Childishly
Loveable Douche The king of the man-children, Sandler traditionally approaches almost every role with the same semi-aggressive, frat-boy zeal for which he was cast as a Saturday Night Live regular and which catapulted to mainstream fame thanks to the likes of Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Sure, hes had the odd role here or there which forcibly took him out of that mindset (most notably Reign Over Me) but even in his most acclaimed turns, in Paul Thomas Andersons Punch Drunk Love for example, its that all-too-familiar Sandleresque zaniness that he shares with the character (and some superior direction of course) that gets him through unscathed. Im not saying I
hate Sandler for his body of work. Hey, there are worse cinematic offenders. Im simply posing that the silly, sort-of-douchey, over-zealous shenanigans weve come to expect from him based on around 85% of his filmography seem to be far more indicative of Sandler than of the characters he plays
