Matthew McConaughey's signature catchphrase has become so iconic that he even used it in his Oscar acceptance speech. The laid-back expression perfectly captures his easygoing persona and traces back to an early film role. What movie introduced the world to "alright, alright, alright"?
▼
McConaughey first uttered his famous "alright, alright, alright" as David Wooderson in Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused." The actor improvised the line while channeling Jim Morrison and thinking about his character's priorities: his car, getting high, rock and roll, and picking up girls. McConaughey landed the role during a chance meeting with casting director Don Phillips at a hotel bar, after sending his girlfriend home so he could keep hanging out.
