Scorsese pointed out Reiner's supporting role in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the main character.
"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a master at comedy, he worked beautifully with everyone, and he understood the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese noted.
