Vince Vaughn made his entrance in the movie business in the 1980s, but it was the 1996 role in the movie “Swingers” which brought him fame and success. He gained even more popularity after being cast by Spielberg in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”, which lead to him impersonating Norman Bates in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.” Afterwards, he landed a role in “Old School”, which then got him parts in “Starsky and Hutch” and “Dodgeball” in 2004, followed by “Be Cool”, “Wedding Crashers”, “Thumbsucker” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in 2005. Vince Vaughn dated Jennifer Aniston, his co-star from “The Break-Up” between 2005 and 2006, just after her highly media-covered break-up with Brad Pitt.
