Vince Vaughn's breakthrough in the
movies came playing the smooth-talking
best friend, Trent, in the low-budget,
critically-acclaimed comedy Swingers
(1996). He was then picked by Steven
Spielberg to star in Jurassic Park:
The Lost World (1997, co-starring
Jeff Goldblum and Julianne Moore),
paving the way for a career as a
laid-back leading man. Vaughn then
starred in a series of forgettable
features, including high-profile box
office flops such as Gus Van Sant's
1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
and the horror-thriller The Cell
(2000, starring Jennifer Lopez). In
2004 he bounced back in comedies,
appearing in Starsky & Hutch
(with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson) and
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
(again with Stiller), followed by Be
Cool (2005, with John Travolta)
and Wedding Crashers (2005,
again with Wilson).
