The sudden deaths Sunday of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, reverberated through Hollywood. Now, the arrest of Reiner's son Nick on Monday on a murder charge in connection with his parents' deaths is shedding new light on the internal struggles of the famous family. Business Insider spoke with Nick Reiner and Rob Reiner in 2016 while attending the Toronto International Film Festival, where the pair were premiering their movie "Being Charlie," which is based on Nick's experiences with drug abuse.
