Personal life
Riegel is the brother of actress Eden Riegel and the half-brother of filmmaker Tatiana S. Riegel. His father, Kurt Riegel, is a radio astronomer, environmental executive, and sailor. His mother, Lenore, is married to author Jerome Charyn.[6]
Riegel lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Vietnamese-American cinematographer Quyen Tran.[7][8] They have a daughter and son together.[9]
On September 11, 2001, Riegel and Tran witnessed the 9/11 attacks.[10] They were caught in the dust cloud formed by the collapse of the South Tower, but eventually escaped to Battery Park, where they witnessed the collapse of the North Tower; Riegel captured video footage that has since been featured in several documentaries.[7]
