Well, that’s not technically true. Vince Vaughn will be playing a criminal, but hey, he’s definitely doing HBO’s True Detective! He’ll join previously announced cop Colin Farrell in the Pizzolattoverse, The Hollywood Reporter writes. And there’s some serious info! Hit it, THR:
Farrell will play Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him. Vaughn is set as Frank Semyon, a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.
Yup. Still can’t wait.
(Wow, Itzkoff. Just wow.)
Apropos of nothing save for random dopeness: The Empire Pops That.

Dear Peter Dinklage: Congrats on scoring a meaty role as a bounty hunter in a thriller.
Dear Aaron Paul: “Supernatural thriller” and “costar” aren’t what we want to hear, little buddy!
Dear Sarah Silverman: That’s pretty cool you’re adapting your hilarious memoir The Bedwetter into a Broadway musical.
And allow Charlo Greene — Mrs. Fuck It, I Quit — to explain her stance. (Hint: pro-trees.) [via]
