A prolific actor with a career spanning more than 25 years, Vince Vaughn started out playing bit parts in China Beach, 21 Jump Street, and a pair of after-school specials on CBS and ABC. Relatively early on, Vaughn’s star rose and he gained tremendous attention for playing Trent, the arrogant, smooth-talking ladies’ man in the Jon Favreau-scripted Swingers back in 1996. While he’s played a number of different characters since then, he’s still most often recognized from movies like Wedding Crashers, Old School, and The Internship, all variations on his most notorious, and quoted, character.
As Frank Semyon in the highly anticipated second season of HBO’s True Detective, however, Vaughn may be looking to reintroduce himself as a serious dramatic actor. But before he gets the chance to do that, let’s look back at some of his decidedly less-comedic roles.
