Well, to make a long story short, Ivan Reitman is Jewish!

Since Ivan Reitman's mother is Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism, those with a Jewish mother (or those who underwent a halakhic conversion) are considered Jewish, then that makes him Jewish. His father is Jewish too.

Ivan Reitman was born on October 27, 1946 in Komarno, Czechoslovakia.

He is best known for directing and producing films such as Animal House (1978), Stripes (1981), Heavy Metal (1981), Ghostbusters (1984), Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990), Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992), Space Jam (1996), Private Parts (1997), EuroTrip (2004), Up in the Air (2009), No Strings Attached (2011) and many more.
