Debra Messing '93 (MFA, Grad Acting) spoke with Larry Maslon, Associate Chair, Grad Acting, on Saturday, October 26, 2019 during NYU Alumni & Parents Weekend. Debra touched on a range of career highlights, from learning she was accepted to NYU Tisch to her time on Will & Grace, and everything in between.  

On how NYU Tisch and Grad Acting impacted her career, Debra said, "I tell this to everybody, I don't believe I would be here or have the career that I've had if I had not gone to NYU Grad Acting. I believe that my education here was seminal in going out there and feeling confident."
