In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick Reiner discussed his prolonged battle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and led to periods of homelessness. He recounted cycling in and out of rehab starting around age 15, and as his addiction worsened, he drifted farther from home, spending extended periods homeless across multiple states.
Nick mentioned that the chaos from his addiction—nights, and sometimes weeks, sleeping outdoors—later inspired the semi-autobiographical film “Being Charlie,” which he co-wrote.
He expressed relief, saying, “I’ve been home for a long time now and have adjusted to living in L.A. and being with my family.”
He was previously married to Penny Marshall, who died in 2018 after battling complications from diabetes.
