So when he travels to Hollywood to collect a debt, and leaves with a screenplay, he decides he’s ready for a career change.

“When you think of stuff Chris O’Dowd’s done, it’s all kind of warm and cuddly,” says his co-star, Ray Romano, who plays washed-up producer Rick Moreweather. “But you see him in this role and he’s got to be intense. He’s got to be dangerous. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but he nails it. I’m very impressed how this guy, who I remember from Bridesmaids as the one sweet guy in the movie, can do both sides.
