In "The Wedding Singer", he played the titular character, Robbie Hart, a heartbroken wedding singer who finds love again with Julia.
The Plot: A Wedding to Remember
"The Wedding Singer" is set in the vibrant, neon-soaked '80s. Robbie Hart, our lovelorn hero, is a wedding singer who's just been left at the altar by his fiancée, Linda (played by the fabulous Christine Taylor). Heartbroken and bitter, Robbie vows to never trust love again. Enter Julia Sullivan, a sweet and bubbly waitress who's engaged to the seemingly perfect Glenn Gulia (Matthew Glave).
