It wasn’t until 2003’s “Old School” though that he became famous all over.
“Starsky & Hutch,” “Dodgeball,” “Wedding Crashers,” “Fred Clause,” “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,” and “The Dilemma” are just a few of the successful comedies in which he has since appeared. Vince Vaughn was an integral part of the group known as the “Frat Pack” in the 2000s. The rest of the Frat Pack consisted of Steve Carell, Jack Black, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, and Owen Wilson.
