He is not the most versatile actor, nor is he the most charismatic, but the truth is that Vince Vaughn connects with his audience, and accumulates box office successes. This actor will have something when he is blessed by first-rate filmmakers like Steven Spielberg or Gus Van Sant.

Although Vincent Anthony Vaughn was born on March 28, 1970 in Minneapolis (Minnesota), he spent his entire childhood in Lake Forest, a small town in Illinois. The son of a salesman and a stockbroker, due to his dyslexia problems he was sent to a special classroom. “He had a lot of difficulty learning things. But even though he was embarrassing for me, at school he would pretend that I didn’t care too much about him, ”recalls the actor. Interested in theater from a very young age, he ended up being recruited for commercials.

Determined to make it as a movie actor, Vince Vaughn packed up his bags and headed for Hollywood, where despite his tenacity, he couldn’t land a role. But he never threw in the towel. “My father started from scratch, so he thought that people can get very high if he works hard. He conveyed that idea to me, and also, I think he was happy that I chose to be an actor, ”Vaughn has stated. He spent a lot of time surviving on his episodic work on television series, until he landed his first credited film job, a supporting role in Rudy for Glory , in which Sean Astin played ‘Rudy’ Ruettiger, a popular football player. . During the filming he became a close friend of the actor and filmmaker Jon Favreau -responsible for Iron Man–, He was writing a script about his own experiences as a bachelor aspiring actor, which led to the movie Swingers , eventually directed by Doug Liman . Favreau – who was the lead – wrote the sprawling role of Trent Walker especially for Vaughn. Although this comedy did not have much commercial impact, curiously it was seen by Steven Spielberg himself , who decided to hire Vaughn for an important role in The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2 . Thanks to his participation in the film, the actor began to become popular.

In addition to taking part in films such as Too Deep , Return to Paradise , The Cell and Swindlers , Vaughn was signed by Gus Van Sant to play Norman Bates himself, in Psycho , his critically criticized remake of Psycho . While filming False Identity in North Carolina , alongside John Travolta , Vaughn became involved with screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and actor Steve Buscemi .in a bar fight against a local. As a result of the unfortunate incident, Buscemi suffered three stab wounds, and Vaughn was arrested by the police along with his opponent. The film was a flop, but the actor did not lack for work to follow, as he had prominent roles in College Bash , Starsky and Hutch , Ball Matter , Anchorman , Mr. and Mrs. Smith , Nowhere at Home and he was even a secondary in Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn . But inexplicably, his biggest hit was De boda en boda, a very light comedy in which he played a cheeky man who sneaked into weddings where he was not invited, a real bombshell in the United States.

In the sentimental field, Vaughn monopolized space in the gossip magazines when he had an affair with Jennifer Aniston –his co-star in Separated– , the summer after she broke up with Brad Pitt . Subsequently, the actor has joined Kyla Webber, a Canadian real estate agent whom he has asked to marry. A staunch Republican, Vince Vaughn is a patriot who regularly travels to cheer on US troops in countries like Iraq.
