Rob Reiner directing Jack Nicholson on the set of A Few Good Men Rob Reiner’s career in Hollywood spanned more than five decades, beginning with his breakout role as Michael “Meathead” Stivic on the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom All in the Family, where he portrayed the liberal son-in-law opposite Carroll O’Connor’s iconic Archie Bunker. The series, created by Norman Lear, tackled social issues head-on and earned Reiner multiple Emmy nominations. Transitioning to directing, Reiner helmed a string of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films in the 1980s and 1990s. His 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap became a cult classic, satirizing the rock music world. He followed with coming-of-age drama Stand by Me (1986), fairy-tale adventure The Princess Bride (1987), romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally… (1989)—where he met Michele, then working as a photographer on set—thriller Misery (1990), and courtroom drama A Few Good Men (1992). Many of these works have endured as cultural touchstones, with several inducted into the National Film Registry.
