Tim Herlihy has had a lasting and prolific creative partnership with Adam Sandler, the star of Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2,' which he co-wrote with the actor.

Happy Gilmore 2 released early Friday morning, providing a sequel to the classic golf film released in 1996. The film stars actor Adam Sandler as well as various returning actors from the original movie like Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller.
