Liev Schreiber was reportedly rushed to the hospital on Sunday after experiencing an unexpected and mysterious health scare, sparking concern among fans and colleagues. According to multiple media reports, the 58-year-old actor required immediate medical attention following a sudden health issue, though details surrounding the nature of the scare remain unclear.
According to TMZ, the 'Ray Donovan' star developed an excruciating pain in his head, prompting his doctor to advise an immediate trip to the hospital. Schreiber stayed overnight at a New York City hospital, where doctors conducted a series of tests on the “Scream” star throughout Monday, the outlet further reported.
According to the report, doctors are still unsure what caused the episode, though the actor remains fully mobile and is able to walk and speak without any problems. A representative told TMZ, "Out of an abundance of caution, Liev went into the hospital for testing, and as of this afternoon, he has been cleared to return to work."
Schreiber first broke through in the early 1990s with roles in indie favorites such as Party Girl and The Daytrippers, before gaining wider recognition as Cotton Weary in the Scream franchise. He later earned major acclaim on stage, winning a Tony Award in 2005 for Glengarry Glen Ross.
From 2013 to 2020, Schreiber starred in Showtime’s Ray Donovan, earning three Emmy nominations, reported popculture.com. In recent years, he has become a regular collaborator with Wes Anderson, appearing in Isle of Dogs, The French Dispatch, and Asteroid City. His latest role came in Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing.
Schreiber married Taylor Neisen in July 2023, and the couple has since welcomed a daughter named Hazel. He is also the father of two older children, Sasha, 18, and Kai, 16, whom he shares with actress Naomi Watts. Schreiber and Watts were together for 11 years before their split in September 2016.
