[edit] Early life and lineage
Reiniger was born in White Plains, New York, in the United States. He is a graduate of Rollins College in Theater Arts.[citation needed]
In 2004 it was revealed that Reiniger is the "Prince of Ghor", a province in western Afghanistan. Reiniger's great, great, great grandfather, Josiah Harlan, was the first American to set foot in Afghanistan. Harlan was granted sovereignty in perpetuity, for himself and his descendants, by Refee Beg, in exchange for military support. Reiniger has expressed mild interest in the title and suggests passing it to his younger brother Harlan Reiniger a historian and PBS documentary producer, but in general considers the title an anecdote and curiosity of no real world importance.[1]
