Vince Vaughn Interview: Bad Monkey & His Gangster Project With Adrien Brody & S. Craig Zahler

Known for his quick wit and idiosyncratic delivery, Vince Vaughn jumps into the comedic detective space in this new Apple TV show, Bad Monkey. He plays police-officer-turned-health-inspector Andrew Yancy, who tries to attain his former glory by solving a case where a tourist finds a severed arm. With strange locals and a meddling monkey to deal with, Yancy tumbles into a whirlwind investigation that is also adapted from a novel by Chris Hiassen of the same name. Vaughn is joined by Michelle Monaghan (The Family Plan), L. Scott Caldwell (The Fugitive), Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2), Meredith Hagner (Search Party), Alex Moffat (Saturday Night Live), Natalie Martinez (La Promesa del Returno), Ronald Peet (First Reformed), and Jodie Turner-Smith (After Yang). Vaughn tells Collider’s Steve Weintraub about how the source material and Bill Lawrence’s involvement in the project initially drew him to Bad Monkey. He also explains his approach to comedy, where he tries to strike the right balance between reading the script and collaboratively improvising. Vaughn also teases an upcoming project with S. Craig Stahler, who he had previously worked with in Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete.
