Tim Herlihy (born October 9, 1966) is an American screen actor, film producer, screenwriter, and Broadway show author. Films written or produced by Herlihy have grossed over $3 billion at the worldwide box office. He frequently collaborates with Adam Sandler, who played a "Saturday Night Live" character, "The Herlihy Boy", in honor of Tim Herlihy. Herlihy was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York. His father was a New York City firefighter. He graduated from Arlington High School in 1984. While double majoring in accounting and international business at New York University, he roomed with Adam Sandler in the Brittany Hall dormitory. When Sandler began doing stand-up comedy during their sophomore year, Herlihy wrote material for Sandler as a lark. After graduating in 1988, Herlihy spent a year as an accountant at Ernst & Young in Manhattan before returning to NYU for law school. While a student there, Herlihy collaborated with Sandler (who had recently been hired at "Saturday Night Live") on sketches, including Cajun Man. After law school, Herlihy worked as a securities lawyer at Cahill Gordon & Reindel in lower Manhattan.
