Vaughn's career trajectory hasn't been all that different than McConaughey's, honestly. In fact, I think Vaughn was probably making better film choices. At least he had Dodgeball and Wedding Crashers. What did McConaughey have? Surfer Dude and the one where he's a man-child that that bangs Sarah Jessica Parker?
 
Vaughn's okay I haven't seen him in anything serious since a History of Violence. I'd be curious how he does in this show.
 
Isn't History of Violence Viggo Mortenson? (Or however you spell his name?)
 
Vaughn can do serious roles so i would actually be behind this :up:
 
MM was filmed all in one chunk, they're done. AMC is just being stupid in releasing it in two sections...

No to go too far off topic but I get why they did it. They don't really have anything solid to replace it with yet.
 
Vaughn isn't the worst candidate ever.
 
Vaughn is an interesting unexpected candidate. I like it. He was really good in Into the Wild.

This is so interesting, Vaughn is a great actor who tends to act solely in comedies, but I'm interested in seeing him in a possibly more dramatic role. He was indeed excellent as always in Into The Wild (and it being YEARS ago as Aesop says doesn't change anything, in fact, I don't even see how that warrants a comment like this).

If all of those are confirmed, this sounds like it's going to be much bigger in scope than the first season.
 
He's done serious movies. I don't see how him doing them a while ago should effect his dramatic acting abilities. Besides, comedians usually are terrific dramatic performers because they know timing.

And Moss would be VERY cool. She won a lot of acclaim for Top of the Lake and she's one of the best characters (the best female characters ) in Mad Men.

If all four of these turn out to be true then we have a very interesting cast.

Yeah. I'm sure Vaughn still has some acting ability... somewhere... but he's played the same annoying character in so many movies now that I don't want to give him another chance. People can make the comparison to Matthew M. if they want, but I feel he was always a better actor than Vaughn (like, a LOT better) even if he did phone it in for a few years in rom-coms. The only movies where Vaughn has EVER impressed me as an actor were Clay Pigeons and Swingers.

This would be a downgrade of epic proportions.
 
Mmmm, I'm loving al these rumours.
 
Yeah, but like I said before, MM was and is a better actor. Vaughn has never been anything above competent, IMO.
