Movie Star Alligator Calls Colorado Home

When I was a teenager, one of the funniest movies that I have ever watched was Happy Gilmore starring Adam Sandler. That movie lives on in random quotes from people all over to this very day.

Possibly one of the most memorable actors in the movie isn't really an actor at all. Known as Chubbs, the one-eyed gator, from Happy Gilmore, has starred in numerous movies including Dr. Dolittle 2, Blues Brothers 2000, Interview with the Vampire, and many more.
