 ...liev schreiber...
Schreiber is here to discuss the play itself and the controversial production, which is, of course, replete with flying monkeys.
When he arrived, Schreiber admitted, he was not the most likable guy, always on the offensive, snarling a contentious "What?" at any student that happened to look at him.
Schreiber has a lot of work in the horizon, too: a film version of Hamlet with Schreiber as Laertes to Ethan Hawke's prince of Denmark is premiering at Sundance this month, and he is talking with Laurence Fishburne about a production of Othello at the Public.

 Interview - Liev Schreiber for "Everything is Illuminated"
Schreiber got an introduction to a more mainstream audience thanks to his role as killer Cotton Weary in Wes Craven's mega-hit Scream, a role he reprised in the film's sequel, Scream 2 (1997).
As the decade progressed, Schreiber continued to be a presence in bigger mainstream projects, such as the 2002 adaptation of Tom Clancy's The Sum of All Fears.
Schreiber: I think probably since the first time I sat in a movie theatre and saw a film I knew that I wanted to do whatever I could to be in that world.

Schreiber: I certainly identified with the character of Carl in "Daytrippers," a guy who is striving for a kind of intellectual superiority and kind of makes a jackass out of himself all of the time.
Schreiber: I was nervous that I was going to win, and I thought, 'Geez, if I win, I am really in trouble because I have no idea what I was going to say.' I was so exhausted from being at Sundance (Film Festival), and I hadn't thought of anything.

 American Jewish Life Magazine
Schreiber met Foer at a local bar and, over drinks, they discussed their grandfathers, the Ukraine, and what it meant to be Jewish.
Schreiber left with the number for Foer’s agent and a pretty good idea the rights to the story would be his.
Certainly, Schreiber has other projects looming, though nothing he’s ready to announce, and for now, his goals are somewhat modest, including “about a month of sleep” and a chance to process everything he’s absorbed from this experience.

 Liev Schreiber
Liev Schreiber has made a name for himself in both leading roles in independent films and character parts in mainstream features.
The film was a flop, although Schreiber's role as a rather muscular transvestite proved to be one of the picture's few memorable features.
As the man Diane Lane cuckolds for Viggo Mortensen, Schreiber mined endless possibilities from what could have been a narrow role, giving his character the sort of charming, good-intentioned inadequacy that has become one of the actor's trademarks.

 Spectacular Optical: Liev Schreiber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
     Schreiber, a classically-trained actor who made his big break on film as a transvestite, loves the theater—its politics, its humanity, its monkeys.
At Friends, however, Schreiber soon learned to channel this anger into acting, vent not against his peers but through his characters—characters that he, appropriately enough, calls his "peers." Friends Seminary, with its sense of community echoing the community he felt at home, helped redirect Schreiber towards a life of acting.
Similar to Serban's philosophy, Schreiber did not want this Hamlet to be a showcase for some actor, as it so often is—he wanted to emphasize the ebb and flow of theater, the Theater as Organism, reveal the brilliant mechanics of the play.
