Real Name: Vincent Anthony Vaughn

Hair: Dark Brown

Born: March 28, 1970 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Discovered: Vince was interested in theater early on and grabbed a spot in a Chevy commercial.
That was all he needed to head 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 his 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. He 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).
The role put Vince out there and gave him the chance to star in movies like A Cool, Dry Place (1998), Return to Paradise (1998), Clay Pigeons (1998) and even a remake of Psycho (1998).

Quotes: "The best thing as an actor, the best tool you have is your imagination. That you kind of take things that have happened, and then go and expand on them. However small it is, you use your imagination to create what that reality is. There's something kind of fun when you're not old enough to do anything, driving a car, getting into a bar, drinking, going to a party you don't belong to, something when you're young in that innocent way." - Vince Vaughn
"I've never done a romantic comedy, because it seems they can't just tell a love story. It's always something like a radio station does a poll and decides these two people will get along, and if they do they get a million dollars. You don't need all of that to get into a love story." - Vince Vaughn
"We were out of work actors who played a lot of video games, so we were sort of surprised that Swingers was seen as cool. I think any cool in it was a geekiness, an awkwardness that most people can relate to." - Vince Vaughn
"There's a lot of pressure not to make rated R movies and if you do make rated R movies, there's a pressure to be shocking just for shock's sake. And we don't want to do that either. I don't want to try to out gross everybody. That's not my style. I don't want to go and just be shocking to see if I get a response. If it makes sense within the course of the film, then it's great." - Vince Vaughn
