A dodgeball star, a wedding crasher, and now, a Miami detective, Vince Vaughn is returning to television on a new Apple TV+ series based on a novel by Carl Hiaasen, Bad Monkey.
The setting takes place in Florida, and the show is staying true to the plot. Filming locations took place in Miami-Dade County and Key West.
According to Miami Today, he is currently filming in areas near Homestead and Crandon Park.
The series produced by Warner Bros. is allegedly setting up camp in a large warehouse in Doral, and they've transformed it into a soundstage.
The cast and crew were reportedly in production at the Key West Historic Seaport, Half Shell Raw Bar, and RockHouse Live Key West.
In fact, Key West residents were even posting photos of Vaughn as they spotted him around town.
The actor is taking a backseat to comedy and starring in a 10-episode drama. He'll be playing the role of a detective, Andrew Yancey, who got demoted to a restaurant inspector.
The show is about a tourist who finds a severed arm and pulls Vaughn's character into greed and corruption that destroys the Florida and Bahamas' land.
Vince Vaughn is known for his iconic roles in Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, and The Break-Up, to name only a few. As he is mainly a movie actor, to see him taking part in a small screen production will be an interesting change of pace.
If you're in the Miami area, you might want to keep your eyes open in case you see the comedy star at work.
