Rob Reiner was a Hollywood legend. Why don't you
just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top
number and make that a little louder. These guys
were 11. As the son of comedy behemoth Carl
Reiner, he became a household name in the 70s
for his role as the outspoken, long-haired liberal son-in-law
on All in the Family, playing Michael Stivvick,
or as his bigoted father-in-law called him, Meathead.
She told me it was your son, Mike.
What? From acting, he turned to directing.
His credits include a string of movies in the 80s
and 90s that became fixtures in the pop culture canon
across a range of genres. It's a bit of
a departure from the kind of thing you normally play
. What time is it? 9 to 8.
Yes you My name is Hugo Montaya. You killed
my father. to die. You want answers?
I think I'm entitled. You want answers. I
want the truth. You can't handle the truth.
And then came one of the most iconic, When
Harry Met Sally. Take it back, OK?
I take it back. You can't take it back
. Why not? Because it's already out there.
Reiner met his future wife, Michelle Singer, a
photographer, during the making of the film, and
fans can thank their relationship for the happy ending.
Um, OK. When Harry Met Sally, was
that always the original ending? No, no.
The original ending we had was that they didn't get
together because I didn't know how that was ever gonna
happen. And then I meet the woman who I've
now been married to for 36 years, Michelle,
and we, we fall in love during the making
of the movie. Yes, and so I changed
the ending. He also spent much of his time
on political causes. He was an influential Democratic fundraiser
, championing causes like funding for early childhood services and
the right to same-sex marriage. Reiner's work took a
somber turn in 2015 with Being Charlie, about an
eighteen-year-old addict who breaks out of a youth treatment program
. Reiner's son, Nick, co-wrote the script based
loosely on his own battles with heroin addiction. Mind
if I use your bathroom? Yeah, go ahead
. Reiner slowed down his filmmaking work in recent years
, but directed a sequel to Spinal Tap, which
was released in September. Who was supposed to be
there? An evening with Stormy Daniels. Oh,
and continued to act. Ron's doing to the restaurant
. This sandwich. The sandwich is the icon,
not the chef.
