Aziz Ansari Interview For ’30 Minutes or Less’
Aug 12th
In the action-comedy ’30 Minutes or Less,’ Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a small town pizza delivery guy whose mundane life collides with the big plans of two wanna-be criminal masterminds (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson). The volatile duo kidnaps Nick and forces him to rob a bank. With mere hours to pull off the impossible task, Nick enlists the help of his ex-best friend, Chet (Aziz Ansari). As the clock ticks, the two must deal with the police, hired assassins, flamethrowers, and their own tumultuous relationship. ’30 Minutes or Less’ is set for release August 12th in the US, and October 16th in the UK. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Aziz Ansari, Nick Swardson and Michael Peña.
What drew you to this project?
Aziz Ansari: I initially read the script and just thought the idea of doing a comedy set around a bank robbery was such a cool idea, it hadn’t been done before. I also thought the idea of Ruben Fleischer, the director of ‘Zombieland’ doing it would be really cool, so I got on board. They also told me there would be a lot of Skittles on set, whenever I wanted I could eat Skittles, I really love Skittles so I was like, “Ok, I’m in.”
It’s a weird situation for these guys to be friends, who’ve had this huge falling out, then they’re put back together under the situation of one of them having a bomb strapped to them and being forced to rob a bank. It’s just kind of a fun scenerio to put these guys in, I thinks that’s part of the fun of the movie.

I read as preperation for the role you actually rode around with a delivery driver who worked for the pizza place in the movie? What was that experience like?
Jesse Eisenberg: It was good because it kind of confirmed for me all of the things in the script that I wasn’t sure about – like the character’s self-awareness. The pizza place where we were filming the movie, they let me go out with this guy Alex, who they thought was most similar to my character – I was surprised to realize how similar he was. He was as sarcastic and self-aware as the character, it was a perfect match for my character.
The character going into potentially dangerous situations, without thinking twice about it. Like in the movie, I deliver a pizza to these guys in this dangerous scrap yard, and when I was out with the guy, I realized that you are doing kind of equivalent things. You are delivering pizza in the middle of the night to drunk people who you know, live in weird places and you have to go into their house, you don’t know if they’re going to answer their door. It made sense that this character would do that, and also might give me some insight into isolated lifestyle. When you know you’re in your car, you maybe start to develop a sense of righteousness and sense of bitterness, and dismissal of the world. So I was able to kind of see some of that.
