Happy Birthday, Vince Vaughn!

Today, we're celebrating the 42nd birthday of Vince Vaughn. He got his acting start with TV appearances in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but it wasn't until 1993's Rudy that he managed to nab a credited role in a feature film. He started to gain more prominence with his supporting role in 1996's Swingers, and he managed to work relatively consistently throughout the 1990s, appearing in high-profile films like 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park and the 1998 remake of Psycho. However, it was Vince's work in the 2000s that truly brought him into the A-list. His work in comedy has shot him to the forefront of the genre. He has appeared in some of the higher-profile comedies of the 2000s, including 2002's Old School, 2004's Anchorman and 2005's Wedding Crashers. Most recently, audiences saw Vaughn in 2011's The Dilemma, and we'll next be able to see him in 2012's Neighborhood Watch. So, to celebrate his birthday, I've compiled a list of my five favorite Vince Vaughn performances. I hope you enjoy the videos I've been able to find. Once again, happy birthday, Vince!
