Martin Scorsese Remembers a Friend and Collaborator

Scorsese highlighted Reiner's cameo appearance in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the lead role.

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with everyone, and he understood the human predicament of his character," Scorsese wrote.
