Dennis Barton Dugan (born September 5, 1946 in Wheaton, Illinois) is an American actor, director, and comedian. He is best known for his numerous collaborations with Adam Sandler, which created some (in)famous movies, such as Grown Ups and Jack and Jill.
His movies, despite many being commercially successful, are often the scratching posts for critics. Nearly all of his films have turned out to be "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes, with his best-received movie there, Happy Gilmore, earning a barely "fresh" score of 61%.
