Vince Vaughn: Bad Monkey, Netflix Nonnas, and Wedding Crashers Nostalgia | Hollywood Insider Podcast

Vince Vaughn BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Vince Vaughn has been quietly but unmistakably back in the center of the frame this week, equal parts working actor, nostalgic icon, and surprisingly tender gentleman. At the top of the list for long term biographical significance is his very visible role anchoring Bad Monkey, the Carl Hiaasen adaptation for Apple, with BuddyTV noting that production has shifted to California with a generous reported 20 million dollar tax incentive and Apple reaffirming that the series remains firmly in production with Vaughn returning as disgraced cop turned Keys health inspector Andrew Yancy. IMDb s news feed and BuddyTV coverage frame him as the face of the show, suggesting this could become his defining TV role in the streaming era rather than just a one off genre experiment.

On the feature side, Vaughn has also stayed in the 2025 conversation thanks to Nonnas, the Netflix comedy about a restaurant staffed by Italian grandmothers, which Y105FM recently singled out on its year end list of the best Netflix movies of 2025 and highlighted as a perfectly timed Mothers Day release. That sort of late year critical affection keeps his name in the awards season adjacent chatter even if the film itself is more comfort food than prestige bait.

The most charming new story comes from Jane Seymour, who told Parade and was re reported by AOL that Vaughn once gently fed a 91 year old actress ice cream on set when her tremors made it hard for her to hold the spoon, a small but vivid anecdote that biographers will love because it reinforces his long standing off camera reputation as protective and soft hearted beneath the frat boy image. That account is firsthand and well sourced; any extrapolation that this is typical behavior is, of course, informed speculation, but it fits the pattern colleagues have described over the years.

In the nostalgia lane, coverage at CBR and Fiction Horizon has been using the upcoming twentieth anniversary theatrical re release of Wedding Crashers on December 4 to reassert its status as a modern comedy classic, with Vaughn and Owen Wilson name checked as the duo powering the celebration. Meanwhile, ScreenRant resurfaced his 2020 body swap slasher Freaky in a piece about Marvel recasts, reporting from CCXP that Kathryn Newton credited that film for catching Kevin Feige s eye and landing her Cassie Lang in Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania a reminder that Vaughn s genre choices have had ripple effects far beyond his own résumé.

On the public appearance front, entertainment B roll service MaximoTV this week pushed fresh footage of Vaughn and wife Kyla Weber on the red carpet at the Bad Monkey world premiere, a polished couple s turn that doubles as quiet promotion for the series. Social media buzz around that clip has been modest but positive; anything beyond that including rumored sequel talk for Wedding Crashers remains unconfirmed and should be treated as fan wishcasting until a studio or principal goes on record.
