Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner were found dead in their home in Brentwood, California on December 14th.
The beloved actor and director gained national attention when he first starred as Meathead in “All in the Family” in 1971. After his time on the show, he went on to become one of Hollywood’s most prolific directors.
From “The Wolf of Wall Street” to “More than Friends,” Reiner has worked on many classic films and television shows during his more than 50 years in the industry.
Here are some of the movies and TV shows Reiner has worked on currently streaming on Tubi.

‘All in the Family’

Reiner got her big break when she landed the role of Michael Stivic, “Meathead,” on All in the Family, alongside Carroll O’Connor, Sally Struthers and Jean Stapleton.
The show revolved around a conservative working class couple living in New York City, and raising a liberal daughter. Reiner is introduced in the first episode as the free-spirited boyfriend of the couple’s daughter.
Throughout the show, Reiner and O’Connor’s characters clash on nearly every topic, including civil rights, immigration and religion, but they also share moments of vulnerability and love.
Created by Norman Lear, the hit sitcom aired on CBS for nine seasons from 1971 to 1979, with Reiner choosing to leave the show at the end of its eighth season in 1978.
‘The Wolf of Wall Street’

The 2013 film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” followed the real-life story of Jordan Belfort, a New York City stockbroker in the 1990s.
Reiner appears in the film as Max Belfort, the father of the main character, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Like Jordan’s father, his character served as a moral compass for Jordan, who was completely immersed in the corruption and greed that comes with being a stockbroker.
“When he sees his son falling to the ground, he tries to steady him, but to no avail,” Reiner told The Huffington Post in December 2013. “It’s like a parent watching your child run down the street and a car is coming and he’s going to get hit by a car and you can’t do anything — and you have to watch it happen.”
The film went on to earn five Academy Award nominations, including best picture and best actor.
