Big break
Vaughn's part in 1996's Swingers brought him wider success. Steven Spielberg then gave him the role of Nick Van Owen in the 1997 blockbuster The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which raised his exposure.
A role that slipped away
Two years later, Vaughn landed a lead part in a planned revival of 77 Sunset Strip for the WB Television Network, but after initial testing the project stopped development.
Behind the camera
Vaughn starred in Ron Howard's comedy The Dilemma, which came out in January 2011. Wild West Picture Show Productions, his own production company, produced the film.
Behind the camera
Vaughn, Greg Olsen and Ryan Kalil started a podcast network and production company, Audiorama, in March 2022. Its first podcast, Youth, Inc., is about youth sports.
