- DonHopkins 10mo agoThroughout his entire career I have always thought "Meathead has done so well for himself! He really showed Archie."

- jzb 10mo agoIndeed. I grew up watching AitF, and I remember being totally floored when I realized he directed “When Harry Met Sally.” Really sad end to a great career and as far as I could tell, a decent human being.
- tanseydavid 10mo agoI remember a radio host in the 90's remarking about how ironic it was that three of the biggest movie directors at the time were: Opie (Ron Howard), Laverne (Penny Marshall) and MeatHead (Rob Reiner).
- nobodyandproud 10mo agoI only ever watched the re-runs (1980s). Still, somehow I never made the connection that “meathead” was Rob Reiner.
- fortyseven 10mo agoIt's definitely interesting seeing him physically morph from his younger days to today. When he first came on my radar as a director, I wondered if it was just another guy with the same name, I had to go look it up, and I was surprised. Seemed like a really great guy. :(
