Every time a twentysomething man yells, "Vegas, baby!" there is one man to thank: Vince Vaughn, the rambunctious sidekick prone to spouting quotable one-liners in Swingers. A year after the film's release, he was starring in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park sequel before returning to the comedic style that made him a box-office success.

Vaughn's fast-talking, giddy, manic energy made hits out of Dodgeball, Old School and The Wedding Crashers. It even turned the critically maligned Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy The Break-Up into a commercial hit, eventually spawning a well-publicized off-screen romance as well. But the Aniston-Vaughn pairing was plagued with media scrutiny, and they eventually called it quits in December 2006. Vaughn has since concentrated on film with roles in Sean Penn's adaptation of Into the Wild and the holiday comedy Fred Claus.
