Vince Vaughn | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Having made his first Hollywood splash playing a co*cky retro-hipster in the indie film-turned-cult classic "Swingers" (1996), actor Vince Vaughn subsequently appeared in dramas as well as mainstream comedies. After "Swingers," Vaughn appeared in "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997) before starring in Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchco*ck's "Psycho" (1998). After appearing in "Return to Paradise" (1998), "The Cell" (2000) and "Domestic Disturbance" (2001), Vaughn again hit his stride as a man trying to recapture his frat house glory in "Old School" (2003). After starring in the surprise hit "Dodgeball" (2004), he had one of his biggest box office successes with "Wedding Crashers" (2005). Often referred to as a member of the so-called "Frat Pack" - which also included Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller and Luke and Owen Wilson - Vaughn enjoyed being a part of the top-grossing comedies of the decade. After another hit opposite Jennifer Aniston in the romantic comedy "The Break-Up" (2006), he had an unexpected turn in Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" (2007). Vaughn maintained his comedy bona fides in "Fred Claus" (2007), and starred in "Four Christmases" (2008) and "The Dilemma" (2011). Vaughn remained one of the more prolific and endearing performers working in the business.
