"Enough time has passed that I can finally put my grief into words, wrote Elwes, saying that the first time he met Reiner, aged 24, he fell in love with him. As we began spending more time together I knew this was someone I wanted in my life. I also knew that by casting me he was giving me the keys to the castle. The actor posted some behind-the-scenes footage from the film, adding that he could not remember a single day without laughter."
"And if I could make him laugh in return, I felt like I had won the lottery. His laugh was one of the greatest sounds I've ever known so heartfelt it still rings in my ears. This was a man who felt deeply, wrote Elwes. Whose heart was filled with love and compassion. He wasn't impressed by how much money you had or if you had a privileged upbringing. He just wanted to know if you were a good guy."
"To say that they were a great team would be an understatement my heart still aches every time I think of you, I know the grief of losing you too soon will likely never go away. He concluded with a quote from The Princess Bride: Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you."
