Bradley Cooper went viral when he revealed the "Wedding Crashers" scene that changed his approach to acting. He explained that Vince Vaughn would “destroy” the scene they were doing, and then he’d ask for another take. He was very complimentary of the actor's comedic skills and improv prowess, and now Vaughn’s "Bad Monkey "co-stars are sharing what it was like to work with “constant comedic genius.”
For a bit of context, Bill Lawrence’s book-to-screen adaptation of Carl Hiaasen’s "Bad Monkey" just premiered on the 2024 TV schedule. In it Vince Vaughn plays former detective turned restaurant health inspector Andrew Yancy. In the show, he sets out to solve the mystery of a severed arm, and he’s hilarious as he travels around the Florida Keys trying to figure out whodunnit. When I spoke to his co-stars, Charlotte Lawrence and Meredith Hagner, about him during an interview for CinemaBlend they couldn’t help but sing his praises.

00:00throughout the whole entire series I was like taking note of like Vince's just hilarious
00:05one-liners that are in like every single episode. Is there one that stands out to you guys as a
00:10favorite or one that like really got you laughing when you heard it for the first time or read it
00:14for the first time? I think it's impossible to choose one. It's also remind you that as actors
00:21getting to work with him we have to do multiple takes of a 30 second scene and every scene he'll
00:29say a new funny joke or a new funny line so we had constant comedic genius humor being you know
00:38talked at us for hours and hours and hours and obviously what you guys see is what was chosen
00:43to come out at the end of the day but I can't tell you the amount of jokes that made me keel
00:48over in laughter that we had to you know redo the take because of it. He's so freaking funny.
00:53The first the pilot when we had our first scene together was actually the first day of shooting
00:57of the whole series and so it's kind of this is this tone gonna work like what is this show
01:02and him and I went on some long thing about like being waiters and of course that didn't make it
01:09in but actually a bit of his about being a waiter did and just was so funny that it's like I mean
01:16man it's really not easy to not ruin a take with Vince Vaughn. I mean it's nearly impossible to just
01:22Meredith part of your job is to not laugh right now that's not what you're supposed to do very hard.
