<p>“I knew Sebastian, of course. Not well, but I have worked with him a little bit; had seen a couple of his shows, and worked on <em>The Irishman</em> with him. So, we had a reading and then after that, I pretty much was like "let's do it - just had to find the time and when to do it.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>He further spoke about the script “I liked it and saw that the script had a personal element from Sebastian's experience, obviously. And, after getting to know Laura Terruso a little bit, I realised her background; she was from Brooklyn, Italian-American - they both [Sebastian and Laura] knew the world (from the movie standpoint), and they are from the world. This was important as far as how this was to be done, and whatever support I need, I got it from them - they know what they are doing, and that was an important part of it," he said.</p>

<p>Sebastian Maniscalco, known for his stand-up comedy, steps into the role of De Niro's son in <em>About My Father</em>. Discussing his character, Maniscalco explains that the film revolves around two families from contrasting socio-economic backgrounds, whose lives intersect over a holiday weekend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The film is about two different families, from very different socio-economic backgrounds, colliding during a holiday weekend, before they realise that those differences are what make them unique.” Sebastian’s character is carrying surprisingly little cultural baggage, and “is more open to different kinds of lifestyles and people,” Maniscalco notes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;Leslie Bibb, Anders Holm, David Rasche, and Kim Cattrall also star in <em>About My Father.&nbsp;</em></p>
