Rob Reiner has been posthumously nominated for an Emmy for his role in Season 4 of FX’s “The Bear.”
Reiner is competing in the guest actor in a comedy series category for playing Albert Schnuff, a restaurant and business consultant who teaches Ebraheim (Edwin Lee Gibson) about franchising.
This marks Reiner’s first Emmy nomination for acting since 1978, when he won the award for best supporting actor for his role as Michael “Meathead” Stivic in “All in the Family.” Reiner was first nominated for “All in the Family” in 1972 and earned four more nods for his performance on the CBS sitcom (he won twice).
Reiner was nominated for two more Emmys in 2024, 46 years later, for directing and producing the Albert Brooks documentary “Defending My Life.”
The legendary director behind “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride” and “This Is Spinal Tap” died on Dec. 14 alongside his wife, Michele. They were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home, and their son, Nick Reiner, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
