Debra Messing reunites with Robert De Niro in film

Debra Messing reunites with Robert De Niro in the upcoming film The Alto Knights, where they play a married couple. This marks a significant moment for Messing, who lost a role in the 1995 film Casino to Sharon Stone. Messing recalls her early audition for Casino, where she met De Niro. She prepared to look older for the role but was humorously called out by De Niro during the audition. In The Alto Knights, Messing portrays mob boss wife Bobbie Costello, while De Niro plays both Costello and Vito Genovese. The film opens in theaters on March 21.
