A Yale School of Drama grad, he has spent as much time on stage as he has on movie screens. In 2005 he won a Tony Award as best featured actor in a play, for his role in the revival of Glengarry Glen Ross. He ... won critical acclaim (and a Tony nomination) as the star of the 2007 Broadway revival of the play Talk Radio. His films include Big Night (1996), Sphere (1998, starring Dustin Hoffman), The Sum of All Fears (2002, starring Morgan Freeman), and the horror remake The Omen (2006, with Schreiber in the Gregory Peck role from the 1976 original).

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. The film was an unequivocal flop, although Schreiber's role as a rather muscular transvestite proved to be one of the picture's few memorable features.

Liev Schreiber has made a career out of roles on the stage and in films, but this CSI gig will, amazingly, be his first real experience on television. Schreiber is ... a talent behind-the-camera: last year, he directed his first film "Everything is Illuminated", starring Elijah Wood and based on the best-selling novel by Jonathan Safron Foer. Schreiber's first episode will air on January 9th. He will fill the temporary void left by William Peterson ("Grissom") while Peterson goes on hiatus to act in a play. Oh, and Schreiber is dating "King Kong" star Naomi Watts. So, he's been doing pretty well lately.
