Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Emmy Award-winning actor Rob Reiner, who was found dead Sunday, had a legendary Hollywood career that included films such as The Princess Bride and This is Spinal Tap.
He and his wife, Michele, were found stabbed to death at home, and the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the incident as a homicide.
Tributes have since poured in, honoring Reiner's contribution to film and television.
"Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele," former president Barack Obama said on social media. "Rob's achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen."
Reiner, the son of the late The Dick Van Dyke Show creator Carl Reiner, got his start in the 1970s series All in the Family, and directed the 1984 cult classic This is Spinal Tap.
