- Distinctive smooth but often menacing voice.
- Despite being one of the stars, he had only 16 lines in Les sept mercenaires (1960).
- Out of the many films he made, there were two he was convinced would be unwatchable box-office poison whilst making them: Les sept mercenaires (1960) and Bullitt (1968).
- Recommended his college friend, James Coburn, for his breakthrough role in Les sept mercenaires (1960). Desperate to cast the movie before an impending actors' strike, director John Sturges was open to Vaughn's suggesting the relatively unknown actor.
- Even though he was previously nominated for an Oscar, he was left out of the "In Memoriam" segment at the 89th Academy Awards. The omission shocked and angered many viewers.
- On 6/27/98 he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6633 Hollywood Blvd. For sentimental reasons, he requested his star to be located near the corner of Hollywood and Cherokee, close to where he and his mother first lived when he moved to Hollywood.
- With a modest amount of looks and talent and more than a modicum of serendipity, I've managed to stretch my 15 minutes of fame into more than half a century of good fortune.
- [on the effect his own life experiences contributed to Hustle (2004)] I've never tried to con anybody and no one's ever tried to con me. Although, maybe they have and I just don't know.
- [on why he was happy that he shared co-starring duties on his series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964)] I had a lot of good friends, particularly David Janssen, who never had any life at all, they were just doing television series and doing publicity about television series and that was it. He was the sole star of the shows that he did.
