Reiner was known for directing classic films in a variety of genres, including When Harry Met Sally, This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, Misery and A Few Good Men, as well as for championing liberal causes and Democratic politics. Spinal Tap star Christopher Guest and his wife Jamie Lee Curtis said they were "numb".
Reiner, the son of comedy great Carl Reiner, started his career in the 1960s and made it big playing Meathead in groundbreaking TV sitcom All in The Family in the 1970s. The programme was a US remake of British comedy Till Death Us Do Part, and scored him two Emmy Awards.
Reiner achieved futher success with cult mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap in 1984, which he directed as well as playing on-screen director Marty DiBergi. That began a run of classic Hollywood movies directed by Reiner, including Stand By Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992), the latter of which scored him an Academy Award nomination for best picture. He reunited with Spinal Tap for long-awaited sequel Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, which was released in September.
As an actor, he also appeared in The Wolf of Wall Street, Postcards from the Edge and Bullets Over Broadway, as well as TV shows including New Girl and The Bear. Reiner also co-founded the successful Castle Rock Entertainment production company.
He was married to Laverne & Shirley actress Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981 and is the adoptive father to Marshall's daughter, actress Tracy Reiner.
He married Michele Reiner, an actress, photographer and producer, in 1989, later recalling that they met during the making of When Harry Met Sally. The couple have three children together. Michele owned the Reiner Light photography agency and production house.
Reiner was also an active campaigner for social and political causes, and for Democratic political candidates.
Politicians who paid their own tributes include Obama, who said: "Rob's achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. "But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people - and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action."
It is not clear what reports the president is referring to, and while the investigation is being treated as a homicide, police have yet to comment on any possible motive.
