Carl Reiner

Carl Reiner started out as an actor, but has become so much more. Not only has he acted on stage, screen and television, he is also a writer, director and producer. Hired as a performer for Your Show of Shows, a classic of early television, he soon began writing sketches for the show. Just having a part in that show would be enough to give him a place in television history, but Carl was just getting started. From there he created a show about his life as a comedy writer living with his family in the suberbs of New York City, and The Dick Van Dyke Show was born. He's also directed and/or produced several movies. His talent goes on and on. Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment is his marriage, which has lasted more than 50 years.
