Two weeks ago Robert DeNiro visited LA County Jail to visit longtime friend Tom Sizemore who is doing time for drug charges but was denied visitation.

DeNiro stood in two separate visitor lines in the high profile area and after making through both lines, expected to receive his pass.  That’s when he got the lowdown on Sizemore’s status.  Apparently Tom had gotten into an altercation with a fellow inmate.

DeNiro tried to play the celebrity card and asked the guards, “Can’t you make an exception?”  But the guards, not easily swayed, refused the superstar access.
