Viewers will see a different side of Vince Vaughn in his role as Frank Seymon in Season 2 of "True Detective." For most of his career, Vaughn has made people laugh with his jokes and punchlines in movies like "Delivery Man" and "The Internship." In this season of "True Detective," Vaughn will play a shady businessman who is in search for the person who murdered his business partner. In order to find out who the killer is, he has to return to his dark past.
According to Business Insider, Vaughn's move from doing movies to television is a sign that he has hit a speed bump in his movie career. He recently starred in "Unfinished Business," which reportedly only had a worldwide gross of $13.6 million. However, this is not the first time Vaughn will play a dark character on screen. He has played a tough guy villain in films like "Made," "Swingers" and "Anchorman."
In Season 1 of "True Detective," fans have witnessed incredible performances from Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, who were both nominated for an Emmy award. Because of this, it is expected from Vaughn to fill in their shoes. According to the show's creator, Nic Pizzolatto, "True Detective" needed an actor who can play a character who has full of complexities and can create his own image opposite to stars Collin Farrell and Rachel McAdams, and it turns out Vaughn was the perfect person to play the role.
According to reports, Vaughn uses his dry wit to deliver his sarcastic replies when talking to his people and impresses in the most chilling moments in the beginning of the show's second episode. He was also great in the scene where he gives a monologue about his childhood. This was reported to be one of his best performances in the show.
Radio Times said that the plot of the Season 2 will be much darker compared to the first. The second season of "True Detective" will begin on June 21 on HBO. See trailer below.
