Just watched 2008 JCPenny Asian Excellence Award the other night...that's when I learned Rob Schneider is a Filipino..He was there to accept his Half Asian Award...So I did a little research...

Rob Schneider

Hollywood comedian Rob Schneider is of dual heritage -- his father is a real estate broker of Jewish stock and his mother Pilar is a Filipina educator. His mother, Pilar Schneider, is featured in a cameo role in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)--as the old woman at the restaurant Deuce goes to for his blind date with Kate (Arija Bareikis). His mom also appeared in his films The Hot Chick (2002), as the head judge at the cheerleading conference, and The Animal (2001), as Mrs. De La Rosa.

no way!! I had no idea he was even part asian.. blue eyes and so not asian looking.. how freaky.. maybe his mum wasn't full Filo and just some but raised in the Philippines...

there are a lot of surprises whos part asian.

Lol I never knew that! He's a funny guy. Wherever I see him on screen, I always think he's going to do something perverted like Male Gigolo.

i love rob schneider! whenever there is adam sandler, there is always rob schneider in the same movie too lol they're freakin hilarious

HOME ALONE..... I watch this movie in Every CHRISTMAS evening. As I remember he played in HOT CHICK.... Also he appeared in CLICK too.. as a Prince Habeebooo... Hababeee ..Haaboobeee..... Oh I forgot.. what was the name...kkkk

Is it right?. Oh, he is one of my favtr movie staaaar!

He's in lots of movies. I'm pretty sure he is very good friends with Adam Sandler and that's why they are always in movies together. I saw him in Don't mess with the zohan LOL. Adam Sandler surprised me in the film and rob was funny as usual.

50 first dates is my favorite movie of them both

I'm not a huge fan of Rob Schneider, though I have to admit he's a funny guy. My favourite movie that he's in is The Hot Chick. That cracks me up every time. I also love his little cameos in Adam Sandler's movies
