F. A. Z.Carl Reiner is a great past behind, as he appeared as a supporting actor in Soderbergh's Ocean trilogy, and then even in the Spin-Off of "Ocean's 8" from Gary Ross. In the Bronx, New York, as the son of a Jewish watchmaker from Austria, was born, he had earned in world war II, his first spurs as a Troop entertainer on the Pacific front. After that, he went to Broadway, where he starred in several Musicals, and the blossoming of television. As a permanent guest in Sid Caesar's Variety Show, he met Mel Brooks, who wrote for Caesar, the sketches, and soon the two were a Team.
First, they performed together in the "Steve Allen Show", then they created the "2000 Year Old Man" your own Comedy Format. The two were mind-boggling, because Brooks never managed to entice the elegant and Pure from the Reserve, and this was, in turn, no means of Brooks’ exuberant babble interrupt.

All of these experiences as an actor, writer, producer and Director were included in the three-game movies, the Carl Reiner in the eighties, turned, and he remains unforgotten: "Dead men don't wear plaid," "The man with two brains" and "Solo for 2". In all three, Steve Martin played the lead role, the Pure with "The Jerk" ("wealth, had discovered no shame") for the cinema, and if you think about it carefully, has also made Martin since then, nothing Better.
