Cera said he was a fan of Wright because of his work on shows like Wright Distance, as well as his films hot fuzz And Shaun of the Dead. Wright was also friends with some of Cera’s Captured Development Co-stars: “I knew he was incredibly talented,” he said.

“This is my world, this is my circle of friends,” he said. “I thought it was always going to be like this and to be honest I was a little depressed when we were done because it all just goes away and you’re like, ‘Where has everyone gone?’
“You kind of get used to it as you get older, but I was sad to lose it. I could have kept doing this forever, even though it was exhausting.”
