This may get the sheep to stop and look.

Or is V.V. looking for a career ending gig?

[General of Darkness]

This is pretty big news if you ask me.

You never saw "Dodge Ball"?

[Joe King]

You never saw "Dodge Ball"?Nope. I just googled him and I've not seen any of his stuff. Never heard of him until reading the name in this thread, but I don't keep up with TV/movies anyway, so no surprise really. There's probably a whole slew of actors/movies/TV shows I've never heard of.
...and I likes it thata way. lol

Out of any of the flicks I have seen. This was the best one imho. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0223954/

I remember him from "The Man Show", plus a few comedies recently (now that I followed osoab's link I recognize him). It seems like "the Man Show" had some porno industry connections. I wondered about the guy when that show started.

'Old School' is classic, 'Wedding Crashers' was pretty funny.

'Swingers' & 'Made' were my favs from years back. 'Clay Pigeons' was an okay flick, 'Be Cool' is a good one too.

Yeah, he is a funny guy and turns out a reasonably smart fella. I like his style of humor, kinda dry, cynical and smart-alecky.

Here is an article about Vince and Ron by Jack Hunter:

Why Vince Vaughn supports Ron Paul
By Jack Hunter (http://dailycaller.com/author/jhunter/) 09/19/2011


When actor Vince Vaughn telephoned Congressman Ron Paul about two and a half years ago, it was not because he was interested in becoming a political activist, although he was interested in a political issue. The Federal Reserve and its inherent problems had become of increasing concern to Vaughn, and he knew that Rep. Paul was one of the most outspoken critics of the United States’s central bank. Paul obliged Vaughn, recommending books and websites related to the actor’s questions, and the two began a relationship first based on shared philosophical interests which would develop into a friendship. Vaughn even invited Ron and his wife Carol to the premier of Vaughn’s movie “Couples Retreat” last year.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that most of the congressman’s staffers and campaign workers were, until very recently, barely aware of this friendship. Both parties simply preferred to keep their relationship to themselves. For those who know Congressman Paul, his discreet and respectful manner comes as no surprise — and apparently, the same is true of Vince Vaughn.

When Vaughn introduced Paul at the Liberty Political Action Conference in Reno, Nevada last week, it was not something the actor took lightly, knowing full well that introducing the 2012 GOP presidential candidate in a public forum would make national headlines. Of course, that was sort of the point. But whereas many Hollywood actors revel in their role as political activists, Vaughn did not particularly want to use his to promote his views or anyone else’s. Still, Vaughn had political concerns, as do most Americans, and felt it was appropriate and important to make his support for Paul known. It’s not as if Vaughn stood to garner any accolades from liberal Hollywood for supporting a conservative Republican trying to take Barack Obama’s job. It’s certainly not even that the actor would help his career by taking a public political stance, which obviously always carries some risk for anyone in the entertainment industry.

No, Vaughn supported Paul simply because he felt it was the right thing to do. Vince stood behind Ron because he believes his ideas are what’s right for this country. This was not a backroom deal made for mutual benefit. This wasn’t even a backroom deal. Vaughn’s showing of public support for Paul was that of a concerned American, who just happens to be famous, who wanted to do what he thought was right and just. Vaughn did it as a philosophical ally and a friend, and he quite literally had nothing to gain personally from this — which is precisely what made it so special.

Paul’s critique of the Federal Reserve and his promotion of the Austrian school of economics always has been, and remains, Vaughn’s primary attraction to the congressman’s philosophy. And he is certainly not alone. The conservative notion of not spending money you don’t have and empowering the free markets has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years. The of a conservative Republican, Vaughn’s interest in restoring sound money as a return to fiscal sanity coincides with public fear of a national debt that now equals the gross domestic product. Vaughn’s promotion of Austrian economics coincides with growing American sentiment that the conventional solutions of federal stimulus, bailouts and bigger government do not work and have only made things worse.

Many Democrats, and unfortunately more than a few Republicans, do not seem to have the appropriate sense of urgency on these issues. But Ron Paul does. So, apparently, does Vince Vaughn. So do, increasingly, a substantial portion of the American people.

If Vaughn’s famous “Old School” is about middle-aged men reverting to what they considered a better time in their lives, Paul’s belief that we should return to the Constitution reflects an earnest desire to rediscover the founding principles that first made this country great: individual liberty over collectivism; state and local solutions over Washington solutions; sound money over an increasingly devalued dollar; a strong national defense over a costly and irrational.

Such propositions are no longer radical to an American public that increasingly realizes politics-as-usual have failed to answer the most pressing problems of our day.

Paul’s philosophy of liberty poses a direct challenge to the status quo of both parties, and that philosophy is spreading — whether judged by Paul’s continued strong double-digit performance in most national polls, continued competitive fundraising or the dominance of his ideas in this election.

Indeed, by most measures, it’s safe to say that more Americans than ever are beginning to agree with Ron Paul. Vince Vaughn is simply another one of those Americans.

Cool. I noticed in the movie "The Dilemma", in the scene where Vince was playing pool with his girlfriend, he was wearing a grey Gadsden flag shirt.
I originally wondered what purpose that would serve the jewish producers, but now that I know this, maybe it was his choice to wear it for that scene.

I have the same one.

I thought the debt far-exceeds the GDP, no?

[General of Darkness]

That was great.

[Joe King]

I thought the debt far-exceeds the GDP, no?
It exceeds it, but not by a huge degree.
....but that's comin', just be paitent. lol

Nothing earns my respect more than someone taking the high road, and consciously risking or sacrificing in the name of goodness, while knowing that taking the easy road laid out by the Luciferians would have been more lucrative and self-serving. Much respect, Vaughn! Now, countdown the number of days until the "breaking news" comes out that he beats his wife, had child porn, or is a crazy raving alcoholic/druggie. Guaranteed, powers are forming to discredit him in any way. Deja Vu from a couple months ago, when the sheep were blindly parroting how insane Sheen is, all-the-while, not knowing a single thing about him.
