Rob Reiner (born March 6, 1947) is an American actor, director, producer, and writer and is a son of Carl Reiner. He became famous playing Michael Stivic, Archie Bunker's liberal son-in-law, on the popular 1970s sitcom All in the Family, which was the most-watched television program for five years in the United States. In the 1980s and 1990s, Reiner was best known as a director of successful Hollywood films.

In the late 1990s and continuing into the 2000s, Reiner has taken an active and vocal role supporting certain education-related proposals in California, including serving as a primary spokesperson for the successful 1998 cigarette-tax initative that has raised $700 million for early-childhood educational programs. He also campaigned in Iowa for Howard Dean just before the 2004 Iowa caucus.
