He also wrote for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1968 and 1969 alongside Steve Martin. His breakthrough came when he played Michael Stivic, Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, on the 1970s sitcom All in the Family. The role earned him two Emmys and five Golden Globe nominations.

Later, Reiner established himself as one of Hollywood’s most renowned directors through romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally… and The American President. His 1992 military courtroom drama A Few Good Men, written by Aaron Sorkin and starring Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, and Jack Nicholson, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In his later years, Reiner returned to acting, appearing on TV series such as New Girl, 30 Rock, and the most recent season of The Bear, as well as in the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street. At the time of his death, he had also completed Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale, the final sequel to his influential 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer.

Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner met while he was directing When Harry Met Sally… and married in 1989. They were deeply involved in politics and known for supporting progressive causes. Reiner co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which led the court challenge against California’s anti-gay marriage Proposition 8. He also helped preserve California’s Ahmanson Ranch as a state park and wildlife refuge instead of allowing commercial development. In 1997, the couple founded the I Am Your Child Foundation to raise awareness about early childhood brain development.

Reiner, 78, and Singer Reiner, 68, are survived by their three children, as well as Reiner’s adopted daughter from his previous marriage to actor and director Penny Marshall.
