4. Vince Vaughn
Style: Sardonically Loveable Douche I do like Vince Vaughn, but Ive yet to see him fully challenge himself dramatically. In almost everything Ive seen him in hes that sarcastic borderline douchebag who you just cant seem to help getting behind. This archetypal trait is probably why hes rarely given a straight leading role (it does happen, its just rare); even in one of his more recent vehicles, The Watch, hes entrusted only with a spot on an ensemble. In fact think back, some of Vaughns most memorable roles are as the snarky straight guy in a duo or an ensemble: Dodgeball; Swingers; The Wedding Crashers. Hell, he even brings an element of this sardonic delivery to his turn as Norman Bates in the failed 1998 Psycho remake a movie that probably should have spelled the end of several careers if Im being honest. But still, Vaughn continued to work after Psycho flopped so unceremoniously and truthfully, I think hes much more suited to funny than serious. Vaughns career is still in full-swing but he really would benefit from pushing himself dramatically; from turning away from that consistently similar Vaughn performance to deliver something a little more character based. But can Vince Vaughn breathe life into a character that isnt at its core Vince Vaughn? Im yet to be convinced, but hey, Ive got an open mind.
