His middling career has largely fizzled out.share
While Schneider was popular during his Saturday Night live Days, was briefly popular as a comedic actor in his own projects and had what appeared to be a solid career as a character actor in comedic films, after mid-2000s things began to slow down for him. Since then, he’s been unable to rekindle his career as even his Netflix series is unlikely to achieve a third season.
There are multiple reasons for Schneider’s failure to thrive. They include:
The films where he’s the star have never cracked the $100 million USD box office mark - He just isn’t successful enough to out in is own films.
He had no significant television career after SNL - His two major roles (Men Behaving Badly and his self-titled sitcom, Rob) failed miserably. Everything else was Schneider is secondary roles. There was nothing on TV to draw in new fans
His film roles were viewed as “gifts” given to him by his close friend, Adam Sandler - Schneider allowed himself to be known as one of “Adam’s guys” and that meant that his career rose and sank as Sandler’s did.
Schneider allowed his social and political views to become too prominent - His anti-vaxxer campaigns and his switching party affiliations probably aren’t stances that he needed to take if his plan was to remain a sought-after comedic actor.
He’s got a reputation as being difficult - Many people don’t want to work with him (especially after the issues on Men Behaving Badly and after his meltdown against a critic who disliked his role the Deuce Bigelow sequel). Since he also doesn’t have a reputation as being a big box office draw, Schneider desirability as a performer has diminished greatly.
Rob Schneider is still out there.
However fewer people care..and his career reflects that fact.
