A Few Good Men, This Is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride director Rob Reiner has been found dead in his Brentwood, Los Angeles home, alongside his wife, Michele. Reiner was 78. CNN has reported that the LAPD has explained it is investigating an apparent homicide.
A spokesperson for the Reiner family has confirmed the deaths and has asked for privacy on behalf of the family in the wake of the tragedy.
Rob Reiner’s long career in entertainment began gaining steam when he was cast as Michael Stivic on the 1970s US sitcom All in the Family, the son-in-law of lead character Archie Bunker. However, while Reiner won two Emmy Awards for his work on the show and would continue to find himself in front of the camera in various roles over the years, it was behind the camera that he established his reputation as an extremely versatile and capable director.
