Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Remembers His Director

Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Fellow Artist

Scorsese pointed out Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, portraying the father of the main character.

"He could improvise with the best. He was a master at comedy, he worked beautifully with his co-stars, and he comprehended the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese wrote.
