Boyce played Keithie Feder, son of Sandler’s character Lenny Feder in “Grown Ups” and “Grown Ups 2.” Both movies were directed by original “Happy Gilmore” director Dennis Dugan. Sandler and “ Happy Gilmore 2 ″ director Kyle Newacheck filmed the sequel in New Jersey last fall.

On July 28, Boyce’s mom, Libby, took to Instagram to personally thank Sandler for including her son in the movie. “Thank you (Adam Sandler) for honoring Cam’s legacy in Happy Gilmore 2,” she wrote in the caption alongside a photo of the scene.

Adam Sandler recently opened up about a major character death in Happy Gilmore 2 and its emotional impact. In a new interview, Sandler and Tim Herlihy said they built the story around grief and aging.
