More about Happy Gilmore's caddie

Happy Gilmore was released in 1996 starring Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald and Julie Bowen.

Jared Van Snellenberg is best known for his role in Happy Gilmore and now works as an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.

Jared Van Snellenberg was born on the 26th of December 1980 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Jared made his acting debut in "Happy Gilmore" at the age of 15. His role, although small, became iconic due to the film's popularity.

Jared appeared in a few other minor roles in films and TV shows. However, his acting career was relatively short-lived as he decided to pursue a different path.

After his brief stint in acting, Jared focused on his academic interests. He earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.

Jared pursued further studies in neuroscience, obtaining a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and neuroscience. He has contributed to research in the field, focusing on cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging.

Jared is now a respected neuroscientist and assistant professor. He has conducted research on brain function and disorders, and his work is published in various scientific journals.

Jared also engages in public speaking, often discussing topics related to neuroscience and mental health.

His character is drawing comparisons to Will Zalatoris.

Allen Covert plays Otto, a homeless man who becomes Happy's caddy on the tour and Happy's best friend.

The script needed five drafts before being ready for production. As 'golf unlikely' as the final cut appears to most viewers, the original script was, by all accounts, even more surreal than the final execution.
