Chicago native Vaughn uses a potent combination of charm, charisma and creative acumen to offer a triple threat as an actor, producer and screenwriter.

Actor-comedian Love made his big screen debut in the comedy film "Fear of a Black Man" in 1993. That same year, renowned director Robert Townsend cast him in his superhero spoof "Meteor Man."

Love gained further recognition in the high-profile comedies "Money Talks," "The Replacements" and "Elf." Vaughn and Love first co-starred in the independent classic film "Made," and shared the big screen again in the box office hit "Couples Retreat." A native of San Diego, Calif., Love is currently touring nationwide with his stand-up comedy show "I Got Love."
