Vince Vaughn as Jeff

Vince landed his first credited role in the film "Rudy" (1993). During filming, he met friend Jon Favreau, who was writing a script detailing his life as an out-of-work actor. Vince was written into "Swingers" (1996) by Jon to play the character of Trent. Vince signed on just as a favor to his buddy, not realizing it would be a career changing role. Though not a commercial success, it was a critical success in which Steven Spielberg saw him, and cast him in the big budget sequel "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997). This role would give Vince the exposure he needed to become movie star and for the first time choose the roles he wanted to take. "A Cool Dry Place" (1998) set him as a loving father, "Return to Paradise" (1998) cast him as a man having a to make a life-or-death decision to save a friend, and "Clay Pigeons" (1998) cast him as an interesting serial killer. He was even cast as Norman Bates for the shot-for-shot remake of Psycho 1990. In 2000 he starred in "The Cell", opposite Jennifer Lopez. In 2001, he starred with John Travolta in the thriller "Domestic Disturbance", and starred again with Jon Favreau in "Made". He recently completed work on "Old School" (2002) for Dreamworks.

Critically acclaimed for a remarkable series of performances for some of the industries most respected directors, Barbara has also had the unprecedented honor of winning the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival two years in a row.

The following year, her portrayal of a South African anti-Apartheid journalist in "A World Apart" won her a second Best Actress Award, an accolade that has been accorded no other actor in the history of the Festival.

Barbara reteamed with Martin Scorsese in his extraordinary and controversial adaptation of "The Last Temptation of Christ", and earned a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Mary Magdalene.

She went on to star in Garry Marshall's hugely popular hit, "Beaches", as Bette Midler's terminally ill best friend.
