The logic behind this casting decision... someone please enlighten me

Casting the Wedding Crashers guy in a film about the horrors of war.

Any credibility for your film disappears out the window. What even is the thought process here

[Batiman]

Ya I felt the same. I wasn’t buying Garfields accent either. TBH I’m not sure why this movie was praised

 

[thegame983]

Actors are allowed to be in different kinds of movies.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Haven't watched the movie but if an actor has the range they can be whatever they want. But at the same time I haven't seen him in any dramas before so I doubt he has the range.

 

[niilokin]

machine gun goes

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Why did they put him in True Detective S2?

Guess you've not seen Casualties of War.

Vince Vaughn is a good actor. Just because he had a string of comedies doesn’t mean he can’t do a drama.


Tom Hanks was known as the comedy guy before landing a dramatic role.

 

[MudoSkills]

This film fucking sucks.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

This film fucking sucks.

But it’s by the most impressive director since Quentin Tarantino

 

[poppabk]

Comedy actors often make great serious actors. The opposite, not so much.

 

[darkangel-212559]

This film fucking sucks.

It's fucking amazing. Wtf you on?

 

[Slicker than your average]

He did a recent job in hacksaw.

 

[Jaybe]

Why they cast Mork in Good Will Hunting?!!

 

[nocsi]

Like Jim Carey?

 

[SirKicksalot]

 

[Rest]

OP you have no taste. Vince Vaughn has done many different types of roles and has done them well.

 

[drganon]

How could they cast the guy from home alone for goodfellas?

 

[Kimahri]

What an asinine thread.

It's like asking why they cast Robin Williams in One Hour Photo.

 

[crazepharmacist]

He ruined season 2 True Detective for me. I mean, not that I actually watched it. I saw the trailers and he completely turned me off the series.

Though I didn't really mind him in Hacksaw Ridge. It didn't really detract from the experience though I don't remember him really playing a large part.

Hacksaw Ridge was still a great movie. Similar caliber to Saving Private Ryan in my opinion.

I was initially disappointed seeing he was a lead character in TDSeason2 but I liked him. He truly was a good guy (somewhat) at heart although also really persuaded his dream which meant doing lot of bad stuff..


Hacksaw ridge tho.. Oh boy. The Neflix trailer shows a close up of him saying (and I'm paraphrasing) " Buckle up Bobby, we're not in Kansas anymore" and that made me Roll my eyes so hard... Funny how that goes..

he still seems friends with the creator of true detective. few weeks ago they were both together hanging out with friends on vacation

Because its a good movie.

 

[Kilau]

Like Jim Carey?

Jim Carey was fantastic in a serious role for Man on the Moon.

Of course he was playing a comedian

 

[Batiman]

Because its a good movie.

I thought it was decent overall personally

 

[Doom85]

Jim Carey was fantastic in a serious role for Man on the Moon.

Of course he was playing a comedian

He was also excellent in Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I like how The and Since are all small trying not to be seen.

 

[JordoftheDead]

I remember really liking Hacksaw Ridge, but genuinely can’t remember Vaughn in it.

Never really liked Vince in any genre tbh.

 

[0neAnd0nly]

Vince is a strong actor IMO with good range.

Should give a few more of his non comedy roles a shot IMO. Dude is good.

Remember, similar stuff was said about Ledger taking the Joker role.

 

[SlimySnake]

But he was good in this role.

The barracks scene is hilarious. Native American war cry, Ghoul, Private Idiot. So many good lines.

 

[zcaa0g]

Vaughn was epic in Wedding Crashers.

 

[bitbydeath]

Vince is great, he should do more horror/serial killer roles, he’s a good fit for it.

 

[MaestroMike]

Forgot that he was in it lol

 

[Slicker than your average]

But he was good in this role.

Are drill instructors even like this or the full metal jacket guy. Or just in the US army.

True but I don't think Vaugn should be allowed in any movies tbh

 

[Loke]

Vince is great, he should do more horror/serial killer roles, he’s a good fit for it.

Haha, he was so good in this role.

 

[Batiman]

Remember when jimmy fallon arrived with a truck full of ammo for the band of brothers?

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

I like Vince Vaughn. He can pull off serious roles pretty easily. He may not be some people’s cup of tea, but I’ve always found both his comedy and dramatic roles really good.

 

[GymWolf]

The only dramatic part where i saw him was true detective and he was mediocre at best.

 

[AJUMP23]

Vince Vaughn also had the audacity to be in Jurassic Park 2. How dare he.
