Reiser's TV credits include My Two Dads and a very touching performance in the British TV drama My Beautiful Son.

Though also having a somewhat successful film career, Reiser is most well-known for his role in Mad About You, a long running sit-com co-starring Helen Hunt. The show was so successful, that in the final 1999 season, he and Hunt were paid $1 million per episode for the show.

Reiser married Paula Ravets in 1988; they have one son together, Ezra (born 1995).
