Kevin Bacon Shares Tearful Video Tribute To Rob Reiner: ‘I’m Not Sure How To Do This’

The “Few Good Men” actor tearfully recalled in an emotional video what “a magical time” their families had together.

Kevin Bacon on Monday shared a heartbreaking video tribute on Instagram to his late friend Rob Reiner, who was found dead alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in their California home. Reiner had directed Bacon in the 1992 drama “A Few Good Men.”

“I’m not sure how to do this, but Rob Reiner gave me a job in ‘A Few Good Men,’” said Bacon. “Sometime in the ’90s, I guess it was, and I was over the moon to get that job, because, people may or may not know, but ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ is my all-time favorite movie.”

Reiner had proven himself as a top-notch director with a cult-classic comedy in “Spinal Tap,” an iconic coming-of-age film in “Stand By Me,” a first-rate fantasy romance in “The Princess Bride,” a horror thriller in “Misery” and the beloved rom-com “When Harry Met Sally.”

“A Few Good Men” was penned by “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin, and it starred Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore and Kiefer Sutherland. Moore wrote in her own tribute that it’s hard to process “the unfathomable devastation” of losing Rob and Michele Reiner.

Bacon went on to tearfully recall starring in the courtroom classic: “And when he called me, I was just so thrilled.” Then he added, “But the making of that movie was one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had on a set.”
