The implication: The sequel leans heavily on surprise athlete cameos, but only John Daly is officially confirmed so far.
Who is Oscar’s cousin in Happy Gilmore 2?
Character role of Oscar’s cousin
The role of Oscar’s cousin has not been officially cast or announced. No source in the confirmed cast lists mentions this character.
What this means: Until Netflix or the filmmakers reveal more, this remains a speculative placeholder.
Which comedian appears in Happy Gilmore 2?
Confirmed comedians in the cast
- Benny Safdie – plays Frank Manatee (Radio Times)
- Ben Stiller – returns as Hal L. (Netflix Tudum)
The film reunites original Happy Gilmore stars Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Christopher McDonald, and adds Bad Bunny plus daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler and Blake Clark.
— Netflix Tudum
The pattern: Both new and returning comedians anchor the sequel’s humor alongside Sandler.
Does Eminem appear in Happy Gilmore 2?
Eminem’s involvement status
Eminem is not listed in any official cast announcement. The Netflix title page, Tudum guide, and major trade reports (IGN, Radio Times) do not include him.
The catch: A Fandom wiki entry speculates his involvement, but that source has low confidence.
Who plays the caddy in Happy Gilmore 2?
Caddy character details
No actor has been publicly named for a caddy role. The radio times cast guide and other detailed listings do not mention a caddy character.
What this means: Fans wondering about the caddy will have to wait for the film’s release or further official disclosures.
Confirmed cast members come from Netflix’s own title page and Tudum articles – the only tier‑1 sources for this film.
Be cautious with Fandom wiki entries; they mix low‑confidence speculation with confirmed facts.
