The Week Of is a Netflix film starring former Saturday Night Live comedians Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. In the film, their kids (Sarah and Tyler) announce that they’re getting married to each other. Chris Rock’s family is wealthy; Adam Sandler’s family is not — which makes the tradition of the father of the bride paying for the wedding awkward.
Chris Rock’s son Tyler is portrayed by Roland Buck III (Noah Sexton on Chicago Med). Adam Sandler’s daughter Sarah is portrayed by Broadway actress Allison Strong (Bye Bye Birdie, Mamma Mia!). Born Allison Trujillo Strong, the New Jersey native has had one on-screen role prior to The Week Of. She played Alicia Vacarro, the daughter of a mafia boss played by Tony Shalhoub, in a 2016 episode of The Blacklist on NBC. Other fun facts about Allison Strong:
- She won a national jingle-singing competition for Oscar Mayer at 11
- She won the statewide Poetry Out Loud competition in 2008
- She studied musical theater at Montclair State University
- She was raised in a Spanish-speaking house in Union City, NJ
