10 Actors Who Play Themselves In Every Movie

8. Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler gets a lot of flack for simply staying in his niche and refusing to try and innovate; even though his performances in Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me are excellent, they are grand exceptions to the fact tha Adam Sandler is comfortable and happy playing the goofball, because it just doesn't require that much effort. Now, we're not saying Sandler is the idiot that he plays in so many films - though many might be compelled to draw that conclusion - but we are saying that he's a less cartoonish version, a regular Joe who's not super-smart or super-talented, just a normal guy. Of course, Sandler is a far richer version of that type of person, but we can't imagine him eating caviar and drinking champagne; we expect that he spends most of that cash on tickets to basketball games or building up his video-game collection.
