Isaac Liev Schreiber (/ˈliːɨv/; born October 4, 1967) is an American actor, producer, director, and screenwriter. He became known during the late 1990s and early 2000s, having appeared in several independent films, and later mainstream Hollywood films, including the
Scream trilogy of horror films,
Phantoms,
The Sum of All Fears,
X-Men Origins: Wolverine,
Salt,
Taking Woodstock and
Goon. Schreiber is also a respected stage actor, having performed in several Broadway productions. In 2005, Schreiber won a Tony Award as Best Featured Actor for his performance in the play
Glengarry Glen Ross. That year, Schreiber also made his debut as a film director and writer with
Everything Is Illuminated, based on the novel of the same name. He also plays the eponymous lead character on the Showtime series
Ray Donovan.
Rumors regarding his relationship with British-Australian actress Naomi Watts (with whom he appeared in
The Painted Veil) have questioned whether the couple are married. In January 2010 Watts was quoted saying that Schreiber had given her a ring (which she was not wearing at the time) but that neither of them wanted to rush into marriage. At Tropfest on June 22, 2013, Schreiber referred to Watts as his wife.
Their first son, Alexander Pete, was born in 2007. They call him Sasha, a Russian nickname variation of the name Alexander. In 2008 Watts gave birth to the couple's second son, Samuel Kai. In April 2010 Watts said that the pair would have a third child if they could be guaranteed a baby girl.
