[BlackTree TV - New York]  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 wannabe criminal masterminds (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson).  The lowlifes kidnap Nick and strap a time bomb to him -- with the promise that they'll blow him up unless he robs a bank. With only a few 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.

DANNY McBRIDE (Dwayne) is currently filming HBO's third season of "Eastbound and Down," which he co-created, writes and executive produces with longtime friends and collaborators, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green.  The show premiered on the network in February, 2010 and has since gained an enormous cult following.  

In 2008, McBride found continued success by starring opposite Seth Rogen and James Franco in Pineapple Express. The film, which was directed by Green and co-written by Rogen & Evan Goldberg (Superbad) from a story by Judd Apatow and Rogen & Goldberg, centers on two buddies who get mixed up with a drug gang.  McBride was nominated for Best Newcomer for his role as Red by the members of the Detroit Film Critics Society. Columbia Pictures released the film, which opened #1 in the box office reaching $100 million worldwide.  

Immediately following the success of Pineapple, McBride was back on top of the box office a week later with the Paramount release of Tropic Thunder. Directed and written by Ben Stiller, the film was #1 for two weeks in a row and earned over $100 million domestically. McBride was joined by a star-studded cast including Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey. 

Most recently, McBride was seen in the Academy Award®-nominated Up in the Air opposite George Clooney and Melanie Lynsky, and voiced Fred McDade in the 2010 animated summer blockbuster Despicable Me, which grossed over $540 million worldwide. McBride has also starred in such comedies as Hot Rod, The Heartbreak Kid, Drillbit Taylor, and Observe and Report. A BlackTree Media Production  Thank you for watching!
