Rob Reiner is in negotiations to join Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street. The director and All In The Family star would play “Max” the father of Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort character. Except for the “Screwie” character voiceover in 2006′s Everybody’s Hero, Reiner hasn’t played an on-air feature role since 2003. He did appear on NBC’s 30 Rock back in 2010. Jonah Hill, The Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal and Pan Am’s Margot Robbie join DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street cast. The film is based on the memoir by Belfort with the script being written by Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter. The film’s being financed by Red Granite and produced by Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland, DiCaprio, Scorsese and Emma Koskoff, and Alexandra Milchan.

This might be just as awkward as Martin Sheen in THE DEPARTED. Let’s hope not.
Um, sheen was great in that film. Have you read this script? Or the book for that matter? Belforts father is a chain smoking alcoholic with an anger management problem. Who doesnt want to see Reiner in that role?
Great choice. Questioning Scorsese are we anon?
Martin Sheen was brilliant in the Boston set crime drama.
It was surprising to run into a much younger Reiner in an old second season episode of Partridge Family. He played a biker (surprise! Lol.) that dates Laurie (Susan Day).
Yeah, let’s see him redo that episode with Dey.
I have missed Susan Dey since the end of “LA Law”. Is she happily retired with grandkids?
I like Rob as a director and always enjoy his films but every time he decides to cameo in a movie (he never really acts nowadays) he’s taking money away from a hard working actor who could really use the parts that Reiner decides to do. It’s wrong and it’s an example of his out of control ego. You are no longer an actor Rob. You had great success as an actor. You are now a director. Leave the acting gigs to people who need the money. You are wealthy beyond belief. Audiences don’t need to see you acting. Give the working actors these parts.
Rob gets approached to do these roles, he doesn’t seek them out. It’s not an ego thing, it’s furthest from it. Rob loves to act, and it makes him happy. Should Lebron James stop playing basketball just to let other people play the game? Also it’s a catch 22 as far as getting other “working actors” to do these parts. You need names to finance a movie. I’m looking forward to seeing him in this role, because I think he’s right for the part and I know he love doing it. Shouldn’t that be enough?
I wonder who he’ll play. As it stands, I don’t see him in it
Great choice. He is e best!
Rob, do it.
he was great in “WHERE’S PAPA”
Read the book for research. There’s nothing redeemable about Wolf, even in the end. Only stroking his narcissist ego by making a movie about him.
