Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutkosky, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman on Legacy, Wrestling, and Happy Gilmore 2

The wait is over, and the most chaotic family reunion of the year has arrived. Happy Gilmore 2 sees Adam Sandler reprising his legendary golf-club-swinging man-child — only this time, he's got backup. Kyle Meredith caught up with the new generation of Gilmore lunacy: Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutkosky, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and newcomer Philip Fine Schneider, who play Happy’s four sons in a long-awaited sequel that’s more absurd, more heartwarming, and somehow even more Sandler. Listen to the episode now.

“It just flowed into the movie,” said Sherry about the group’s chemistry, crediting the “banter and camaraderie” that emerged both on and off the set. “We kind of have that cartoonistic aspect,” Cutkosky added, describing the high-energy tone as something that “literally just flows through you.”

Friedman—better known as All Elite Wrestling's MJF—is also a classically trained actor who saw this as a homecoming of sorts: “Being able to go back to my roots here… it was really something else.” Schneider, meanwhile, had just come off performing Hamlet in college before getting cast as Bobby Gilmore, and while the jump sounds wild, he swears “the process was really quite similar.”
