Whatever Happened to Peter Dante? Whatever Happened to Peter Dante? 3 hours ago It doesn’t feel as though it’s been that long since Peter Dante, Allen Covert, and several other of Adam Sandler’s friends were younger and acting in several movies that were making us laugh uproariously and without a thought as to what might come next in their careers. He’s been very prominent in many Sandler movies much like others that have been around the comedian for years, but his roles tend to be slightly lesser than others as he tends to exist on the periphery of the main action a lot of times. But he’s been seen as more prominent in several movies as he’s taken on bigger roles and become a big part of the narrative. One such movie was The Waterboy in which he played the part of Gee Grenouille, the college quarterback that gave Adam Sandler’s character such a hard time initially. He was also great as Dante, which was funny considering that he was able to use his own surname, in Grandma’s Boy with Allen Covert. Over the course of his career, he’s been an amusing and even funny actor but it does feel as though he’s had the benefit of great writing, part of which he’s done since he was one of the writers on Grandma’s Boy, which kind of makes sense given that Dante was a key character.
