Robert Anthony De Niro, an American actor and producer who has starred in over 100 films had some encounters in the past, but nothing placed him in a virtual world of solitary confinement, reported the Entertainment Weekly

In the late-night-talk show 'The Tonight Show' Robert Anthony De Niro  said, "It was interesting, "the whole experience of getting a sense of what solitary confinement, and this particular exhibit, if you will, was about...showing how horrible it was." 

De Niro is a cofounder of The Guardian set up for the Tribeca Film Festival, which is an extension of the exhibit, called 6x9: An Immersive Experience of Solitary Confinement. The project seeks to shed light on the conditions inflicted on the prison population in the U.S. 

"We're doing it in a movie that I'm doing with [Martin] Scorsese. The title of it now is called The Irishman where, there are earlier years where we're younger and we've been doing tests to show that we're younger, obviously, 30 years or so." Fallon commented on the technology's impact on the film industry. And De Niro said he's already seen it incorporated. He also added, "It's getting more and more perfected, and that'll extend my career another 30, 40, 50 years."

De Niro, an actor and producer has his first major film roles were in the sports drama Bang the Drum Slowly and Martin Scorsese's crime film Mean Streets.

'The Tonight Show' is an American late-night talk show broadcast from the Rockefeller Center in New York City and airing on NBC since 1954. It is the world's longest-running talk show, and the longest running, regularly scheduled entertainment show.
