Vincent Anthony Vaughn is an American film actor. He began acting in the late 1980s, appearing in minor television roles before coming to wider renown with the 1996 movie, “Swingers.”
In 1988, Vaughn was cast in a Chevrolet television commercial, and subsequently moved to Hollywood. Although he appeared in the 1989 season of the television series, “China Beach” and in three CBS Schoolbreak Specials (in 1990), he faced many rejections. His first film role was 1993’s “Rudy,” but Vaughn did not receive wider success until after his role in 1996’s “Swingers.” While filming “Rudy,” Vaughn met Jon Favreau, who was working on the original draft for “Swingers.” “Swingers” was released in July 1996, and became a successful independent film. Afterwards, director Steven Spielberg cast Vaughn in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” which gave him an amount of exposure. From there, Vaughn went on to appear in several films of varied success, including playing Norman Bates in the 1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.” In 2000, he starred in “The Cell” with Jennifer Lopez and in 2001 appeared in “Made,” another film penned by Favreau. Vaughn also appeared in “South of Heaven, West of Hell.” Since Vaughn’s role in the successful 2003 comedy, “Old School,” his profile has skyrocketed. In 2004, he appeared alongside Ben Stiller in the hit films “Starsky & Hutch” and “Dodgeball,” and had roles in 2005’s “Be Cool,” “Thumbsucker” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”
Also in 2005, Vaughn starred alongside Owen Wilson in the comedy “Wedding Crashers,” which grossed over $200 million at the United States box office. In 2006, Vaughn starred with Jennifer Aniston in the comedy-drama “The Break-Up” (also with Favreau).
