Aziz Ansari has divulged the "big advantage" in writing a part for himself in his feature directorial debut Good Fortune. In the comedy, the Parks and Recreation actor plays Arj, a struggling man who hits rock bottom and meets Keanu Reeves' guardian angel Gabriel, who tries to show him that money doesn't solve a person's problems. "There's always a little part of me that's like, 'Why don't I just call Riz Ahmed and get him to do it?'" "But the big advantage of writing for myself is I always agree to do my projects and I don't drop out. "With Seth, I know his voice so well I can really write to him," Ansari continued.
