Biography:Displaying the kind of off-kilter charm that makes him a natural for leading roles in independent films and character parts in mainstream features, "Liev Schreiber" has made a name for himself on both circuits. Born October 4, 1967, in San Francisco, Schreiber was raised on New York's Lower East Side. A graduate of Hampshire College in Massachusetts, he initially wanted to become a writer, but later decided to try his hand at acting, training at both London's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Yale School of Drama.

Schreiber's first acting job was on Broadway, where he appeared in In the Summer House. More theater work followed and in 1994, the actor made his film debut in the "Steve Martin" comedy "Mixed Nuts".
