Biography |
 |
|
| |
Vince Vaughn (born March 28, 1970 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American actor. He raised in Lake Forest, Illinois, USA. His parents were Vernon Vaughn, a salesman, and Sharon Vaughn, a real-estate agent and stockbroker. They would later divorce in 1991. He also has two older sisters named Victoria and Valerie.
Vince was interested in theater early on and grabbed a spot in a Chevy commercial. Figuring he was set, he packed his bags and headed for Hollywood only to become a struggling actor losing role after role. He managed to hit a few spots on television, but his real goal was to make it to the big screen. He made his first credited role in the film Rudy (1993) where he met friend Jon Favreau who was writing a script detailing his life as an out-of-work actor. Vince was written into Swingers (1996) by Jon to play the character of Trent. Vince signed on just as a favor to his buddy, not realizing it would be a career changing role. Though not a commercial success, it was a critical success in which Steven Spielberg saw him and cast him in the big budget sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). This role would give Vince the exposure he needed to become a movie star and for the first time choose the roles he wanted to take. From there, Vaughn went on to make A Cool, Dry Place and played Norman Bates in the 1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. In 2000 he starred in The Cell with Jennifer Lopez and Made in 2001 (another Favreau film).
In 2004 he was seen alongside Ben Stiller in Starsky & Hutch and Dodgeball. His most recent film is the Get Shorty sequel Be Cool.
